    In its 1968 report designating the Hunters Point Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission described Nos. 21-12 through 21-20 as the same as the stone row at 21-21 through 21-29 across 45th Avenue. It ranked the ten houses together among the finest Italianate town house groups in New York, calling their Westchester stone virtually unique. Every front door in the south-side row was still original except at No. 21-12.

    “All doors are original except those at No. 21-12.”
