The Walcott family develops a row of brick Italianate flathouses that includes 142 Franklin Street
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's Greenpoint Historic District report says the Charles Walcott family developed eight brick Italianate flathouses, Nos. 128-142 Franklin Street, around 1855. Their ground floors held shops and were framed by cast-iron piers, with the entrance to the upstairs flats on the right. Metal cornices were added to No. 142 in the late 1880s or early 1890s, and its Greenpoint Avenue side is treated much like the main facade.
