Architectural descriptions draw on LPC’s 1968 designation report. Current condition, legal occupancy and alteration approvals require an address-specific review. These profiles are historical research, not listings.
What LPC recorded
LPC identified this five-house row as built by Root and Rust in 1871–72, with Westchester stone fronts and three stories over basements. The report relates the row to the stone houses across the avenue at 21-12–21-20, giving buyers a useful way to read the street as an ensemble.
Read the details
Composition-stone balustrades and double doors figure in the historic description. These details are reasons to slow down at the stoop and look at the workmanship.
“Stone-fronted” is a starting point, not a condition report. Repair methods and material compatibility deserve attention when an older façade is part of a purchase.
Questions to take to the showing
- Has a qualified specialist assessed the stone, prior patches, mortar and water movement?
- Which stoop and entrance details remain, and what do permit records show about repairs?
- Does the ownership budget include material-specific maintenance rather than a generic exterior allowance?
These questions are a research starting point, not findings of a defect or assurance about the property. For the full sequence—from lawful use to insurance—see the buyer’s guide.
