Number 119 Bank Street is the middle of Niebuhr's trio of five-story apartment houses
No. 119 stands between Nos. 117 and 121, the three apartment houses that William F. Niebuhr designed in 1884 for John Schreyer. Its plain window sills and lintels echo the Greek Revival houses elsewhere on the block, while the bracketed cornice it shares with its neighbors makes the group read as one composition.
“The windows have simple sills and plain lintels, which are in character with the Greek Revival design of the older residences on the block.”
