Hauser's fourth Morris Avenue row rises, including the buff-brick No. 1977
No. 1977 is one of nine three-story buff-brick houses on the west side of the block, the fourth group August Jacob built here, all erected in 1907 with full-height bows, limestone trim and galvanized iron cornices. It has the row's rectangular entrance type with splayed window lintels and keystones. When the Landmarks Commission surveyed it, the house kept its wood sash behind aluminum storm windows, and chicken wire covered its first-story windows.
