No. 1990 is the one house in its row of six fitted with aluminum windows
No. 1990 pairs with No. 1988 as buff-brick houses with rectangular entrances and keystoned lintels in the six-house group built in 1906. All six kept their paired wood and glass doors and transoms into the 1980s, and all but No. 1990 kept one-over-one wood sash; No. 1990's windows had been replaced with aluminum. Its cornice was painted gray at designation in 1986.
“Windows are double hung with one-over-one wood sash except for No. 1990's which are aluminum one over one.”
