Among the Greek Revival houses built in 1845-46 for Myndert Van Schaick and the carpenter Patrick Cogan, the Landmarks Preservation Commission found Nos. 16-20 the best expression of the row. When the district was designated, it described No. 20 as the best preserved, with its original ironwork and high stoop. Its wood-framed outer doorway has Corinthian pilasters and sidelights, and its floor-length parlor windows have flush lintels.
