No. 1983 gets corbels carved as bearded heads in turbans
No. 1983 is one of nine three-story buff-brick houses that developer August Jacob built on the west side of Morris Avenue in 1907 to designs by John Hauser. Its arched doorway rests on carved head corbels; the turbaned faces here are bearded, unlike the beardless pair at No. 1981. The report found its original wood sash intact.
