1907
No. 1980 rises with a rectangular doorway and keystoned lintels in Hauser's syncopated row
One of nine east-side houses built in 1907 during August Jacob's third campaign, No. 1980 is faced in the dark honey brick also used on the Tremont Avenue tenements. Architect John Hauser gave it the row's rectangular entrance, topped by a limestone entablature over a pulvinated frieze, with splayed keystoned lintels and continuous sill moldings. The Landmarks report noted wood sash and a buff-colored cornice.
“Rectangular entrances are found at Nos. 1972, 1974, 1980, and 1982 (plates 14, 17, 16 and 19).”
