1902
No. 1131 echoes Nos. 1123-1125 with paired round-arch windows over its balcony
No. 1131 and its partner No. 1133 copy the design of Nos. 1123-1125 at the other end of the row. Both pairs adapt Warren C. Dickerson's scheme for 1115-1117, putting two round-arch windows above the balcony where that pair has a tripartite square window.
