A row of four 3-story (plus raised basements) Renaissance-revival (with Queen Anne elements) residential buildings completed together in 1889. Designed by Walden Pell Anderson, they are clad in orange-red brick on the upper floors and light-colored brownstone on the lower floors, arranged in an A-B-A-B pattern.
No. 33 at the east end has a straight stoop on the right, with iron handrails, leading up to a parlor-floor entrance with wood, glass, and wrought-iron double-doors and a transom, framed by pilasters that are fluted at the bottoms, with overlapping scales at the top halves (which bow outward), and larger scales on the inner sides. The doorway is surmounted by a triangular pediment with dentils and a foliate ornament around a carved gargoyle. The parlor floor and basement have broad bands of textured stone, and double-windows with iron grilles. The parlor-floor window is taller and has rounded upper corners, with a roundel in the keystone. Below are two panels of carved foliate ornament, and there is a basement entry in the side of the stoop. To the left of the parlor-floor window, a vertical panel of foliate ornament joins the two eastern facades together. The 2nd floor has a smaller double-window on the left, also with rounded corners, and below it is a dentiled sill and an area of rough-faced stone. The east bay has a single-window with rounded corners and is very slightly recessed. The area around the tops of these windows is textured stone instead of brick, and there is a pair of rosettes at the wider bay. The top floor has three round-cornered single-windows, the eastern one still recessed, and again having stone lintel areas. The facade is crowned by a black metal cornice (with some small rosettes) surmounted by a short, sloped roof with tan shingles.
No. 35 is basically a mirror-image of No. 33, with a few differences. The glass panes in the double-doors at the parlor-floor entrance are wider and have a different design of wrought-iron tracery, and there is no grille over the parlor-floor window. The ornament in the doorway pediment is different, centered around an urn The metal roof cornice has garlands instead of rosettes, and the sloped roof on top is tile instead of shingles.
No. 37 repeats the "A" design of No. 33, but the double-doors at the parlor-floor entrance have vertical bars across the glass panes, and two separate upper transoms. The roof cornice has garlands, and the sloped roof is tile.
No. 39 at the west end repeats the "B" design of No. 35, with elaborate wrought-iron double-doors, and simplified ornament in the pediment above. The parlor-floor window has an iron grille.
No. 33 remains a single-family townhome, while the others are divided into multiple units.
