Hauser gives No. 1984 buff brick and an arched entrance in a row of nine bowed houses
No. 1984 belongs to the nine three-story houses, Nos. 1970 to 1986, of architect John Hauser's third building campaign on the block. It is one of four faced in buff brick, and its round-arched doorway has keyed blocks, limestone cresting and corbels carved as upturned bell flowers. When the block was designated in 1986 it still had wood sash, and its cornice was painted black.
