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 designation extends around the corner to five houses on 23rd Street. LPC described this 1887 row as modified Romanesque Revival with classical cornices, two stories over full basements and shallow bow fronts.
Read the details
Terra-cotta inserts and the corner building’s metal bay appear in the historical report. These are distinct materials and forms, each with its own inspection questions.
The included addresses are 44-70–44-78. A broader 23rd Street or Hunters Point address should not be assumed to fall within the same designation. Confirm the exact lot on the official map.
Questions to take to the showing
- What is the condition of projecting bays, their connections and their flashing?
- Are ornamental elements secure, and have prior repairs used suitable materials?
- Does the property’s exact address and lot match the official district boundary?
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.
Considering a home in this row?
Send Lauren a listing link or the exact address, along with the features you are looking for and any renovation ideas. That gives a buyer-representation conversation a specific place to begin.
