No. 1143 ends Howell's row with a full-height bay squared off to line up with the tenement that stood next door
No. 1143, last of the five Harry T. Howell houses for John Linch, follows No. 1135's design except that its window bay climbs all three stories to the cornice. At its northern end the bay stops in a flat edge, lining up with the five-story tenement at No. 1145, also by Howell, which sat at the lot line without a stoop. By the 1982 Landmarks Preservation Commission report, that lot was empty.
