Dickerson gives No. 1102 a wide wooden frieze and diamond-paned top-floor windows
Built in 1902 for developer Thomas Quinn to Warren C. Dickerson's plans, No. 1102 and its neighbor No. 1104 are the pair the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged the most interesting in the five-building group at Nos. 1096-1104. A broad wooden frieze takes in the third-story windows, which have classical surrounds and diamond-patterned sash, while a three-story curved brick bay carries the flowing line of the street wall along the block.
“Nos. 1102-1104 are the most interesting designs in this group with a wide wooden frieze…”

1905
Robbins Street, the house's street, is renamed Jackson Avenue
The street in front of No. 1102 was part of Rowland Robbins' farm in the 1850s and, soon after the Civil War, was known as Robbins Street, one of the few streets in East Morrisania at the time. In 1905 it took the name Jackson Avenue, probably for Washington and Rosetta Jackson, who owned land near St. Mary's Park.
