    Built in 1902 with No. 1127 as its partner, No. 1129 has an angled bay, a balcony with a balustrade and paneled wrought-iron stair railings. The Landmarks Preservation Commission noted that this pair's plans were filed a year ahead of the matching houses at 1119-1121, making them the earliest examples of Warren C. Dickerson's design on the block.
