Number 121 Bank Street is the third of Niebuhr's 1884 apartment houses for John Schreyer
No. 121 completes the row of three five-story apartment buildings that William F. Niebuhr designed in 1884 for John Schreyer, together with Nos. 117 and 119. The brick stoops lead to arched entrances, and the continuous cornice with oversized brackets runs the full length of the group, joining the three buildings of different widths.
“These three buildings are crowned by a continuous, elaborately detailed cornice with oversized brackets, which unifies them.”
