1823 Cornelia Street pairs a pedimented limestone entrance with an amber brick base
Like its neighbors, 1823 Cornelia Street has a pale yellow brick front above an amber brick base, string courses of patterned brick and limestone, and a carved limestone doorway under a bracketed pediment. Its cornice, painted grey, carries swags and cartouches. By the time of designation the windows were aluminum replacements, the entrance had a newer wood-and-glass door with a sidelight, and the brick stoop and railing were not historic.
“Aluminum replacement windows in all openings; ... non-historic brick stoop and railing…”
