The Landmarks Preservation Commission described this house as one of five on the south side of the avenue matching the stone row across the street. Its rusticated basement sits under a plain belt course, and the first-floor window lintels are paneled, with projecting cornices on ribbed brackets bearing five-pointed stars. The stoop and areaway balustrades, of composition stone, are pierced with long arched openings, and the octagonal newel posts carry pointed Gothic panels.
“…carried on ribbed brackets which are decorated with five pointed stars ... The octagonal newel posts have pointed Gothic panels.”
