Warren C. Dickerson tops the house's rounded bay with a columned loggia
Built in 1901-02 by developer Ernest Wenigmann to designs by Warren C. Dickerson, this red-brick house forms a pair with No. 1064. Its three-story rounded bay ends in a loggia framed by four wooden Ionic columns under a sloping slate roof, beside a segmental-arched entrance capped by a console keystone. The design repeats the pair across the street at Nos. 1046 and 1048.
