1907
No. 1982 is built in buff brick with a rectangular entrance
Built in 1907 as part of developer August Jacob's third campaign, No. 1982 is one of four buff-brick houses in John Hauser's nine-house east-side row. It has a rectangular entrance under a limestone entablature and keystoned window lintels. The Landmarks report found it had lost its original wrought-iron basement window grilles, though its wood sash and stoop railings survived and its cornice was painted buff.
“Only Nos. 1982 and 1986 are missing their original wrought- iron basement window grilles.”
