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
The 1968 inventory described three four-story brick apartment houses built in 1889. LPC associated the group with Queen Anne design, emphasizing angular, three-sided bays and a varied surface of brick, stone bands and high sheet-metal cornices.
Read the details
Projecting bays change the experience of a façade and may shape the rooms behind it. Their geometry also creates junctions where materials, structure and weatherproofing meet.
As with other apartment-house entries, the historical building type does not establish today’s lawful occupancy or tenancy. Those questions need current, address-specific records.
Questions to take to the showing
- Have the bays, lintels, joints and metal cornices been assessed by an appropriate specialist?
- What does the documented floor use show, and does it match the marketed layout?
- What exterior alterations are proposed, and how would they affect the visible bay composition?
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.
