The corner house of Haight's five-house Bank Street row marks the change from stone to brick with quoins
No. 14 Bank Street, also numbered 249 Waverly Place, is the corner house of the five brownstones built in 1861 for James Haight, Jr. The Landmarks Preservation Commission points to the corner stones, or quoins, that ease the shift from stone to brick as proof that the row was meant to read as one uniform block. Original door frames on the street entrances were later stuccoed over.
“…corner stones (quoins) are used to make the .transition from stone to brick.”
