Landmarks report names No. 1135 the model for Harry T. Howell's five-house row built for John Linch
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1982 report on the Morris High School Historic District describes Nos. 1135-1143 as five houses by architect Harry T. Howell, arranged in an A-B-A-B-A rhythm for John Linch at $11,000 apiece. No. 1135 sets the pattern: a two-story curved bay capped by a solid parapet, a cornice with a rinceau frieze, and a brownstone stoop with wrought-iron railings and cage newels.
“Nos. 1135-1143 is a row of five buildings designed by Harry T. Howell in an A-B-A-B-A pattern for John Linch at a cost of $11,000. each.”
