A row of four 4-story (plus raised basements) Renaissance-revival residential buildings completed together in 1899. Designed by George F. Pelham, they are arranged in a mirror-image pattern, and clad in white-painted stone (more of a cream color at No. 15). There is no No. 13, as this address number is skipped.
No. 7 at the east end has a straight stoop on the left, widening slightly at the base of the inner side, with square, paneled newel posts with flat, ornament caps. The parlor-floor entrance has wood-and-glass double-doors and a transom. The basement and parlor floors are banded, and have two single-windows to the right, with iron grilles at the basement level, where there is a gated entry in the side of the stoop. The three parlor-floor openings have splayed lintels. There is a central, 2-story, bowed, projecting bay of three windows at the 2nd-3rd floors, with an elaborate foliate-ornamented rounded base below an egg-and-dart molding. There are paneled pilasters between the windows, with thinner ones at the outside of the 3rd-floor windows. Those on the 2nd floor have hanging ribbons at the tops (with small Ionic capitals at the outer pilasters), and those on the 3rd floor are fully filled by foliate ornament. The spandrel between the two floors has a thin band across its center, with a round-arch in the middle that is filled by more foliate ornament. An egg-and-dart molding runs across the 3rd-floor windows, and the projecting bay is capped by a thin cornice. The top floor has three single-windows, and the facade is crowned by a black metal roof cornice with brackets, dentils, and a frieze of leafy ornament.
No. 9 has a dog-legged box stoop winding down and right from a parlor-floor entrance on the left, with black wood-and-glass double-doors and a transom. A flat panel across the front wall of the stoop has elaborate foliate ornament, and the rest of the facade matches No. 7's save for the top floor, and some different ornament on the projecting bay. The 2nd-floor windows are framed by an egg-and-dart molding, the middle pilasters (there are no thin, outer pilasters) have a different design of hanging ornament, and instead of an arch above the spandrel's mid-line, there is a small panel below it with a small cartouche flanked by foliate ornament. The 3rd-floor pilasters have yet another version of hanging ornament, and the windows have splayed lintels. The top floor has two bays of wider single-windows, and the roof cornice matches that at No. 7.
No. 11 is a mirror-image of No. 9. No. 15 is a mirror-image of No. 7, with the steps of the stoop a darker-grey color, and iron grilles over the parlor-floor windows as well.
