No. 1100 Jackson Avenue went up in 1902 to plans by Warren C. Dickerson for the developer Thomas Quinn, one of five buildings at Nos. 1096-1104 filed under a single building permit. It is the mirror twin of No. 1098: limestone string courses mark each floor, the window lintels carry raised keystones, and a bracketed shelf lintel tops the door. The low paired stoops had bold wrought-iron railings in a hoop-and-scroll pattern.

December 21
The house stands sealed as the city creates the Morris High School Historic District
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Morris High School Historic District on December 21, 1982, its report described Nos. 1098 and 1100 as sealed, with their window sash and entrance doors gone. Only fragments of the original wrought-iron stoop railings survived, and the report noted that the fire escapes were later additions.
“Both buildings are sealed and have lost window sash and entrance doors.”
