Louis Allmendinger gives 1821 Cornelia Street a limestone doorway and a bluestone stoop
The front is pale yellow brick set on an amber brick base, five bays wide at street level and four bays above, with arched amber brick lintels on the upper floors. A carved limestone frame and a bracketed, pedimented hood mark the central doorway, which kept its historic paired wood-and-glass doors. The landmarks report also notes a cornice decorated with swags and cartouches, now painted tan, and the historic bluestone stoop.
