1893
Architect Warren C. Dickerson returns from California to build a large Bronx rowhouse practice
Warren C. Dickerson, who designed the majority of this historic district's houses including this one, was a Long Island native born in 1853 and studied at the Cooper Institute. He worked as a carpenter, then set up as an architect in San Diego before relocating to San Francisco. He came back to New York in 1893 and built a busy practice; nothing is known of his career after 1905.
“Dickerson returned to New York in 1893 and developed an extensive and successful architectural practice.”

No. 1124 is the first of five rowhouses, Nos. 1124 to 1132, that Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1900 for Thomas Quinn at an estimated $6,000 per house. Built of Roman brick with limestone trim, it has an angled bay rising to a stepped Flemish gable with diamond-patterned window sash, brick piers with foliate capitals, and a pedimented entrance. The Commission called the Flemish-gabled houses at Nos. 1124 to 1144 by far the most picturesque designs in the district.
