1887
A row of six brick houses goes up, this one keeping its curving wrought-iron stoop rails
A group of six brick houses, numbers 21-22 through 21-32, was built in 1887 next to an earlier stone row. They are two stories over a basement, with stone stoops, plain lintels and deep wooden cornices on four Neo-Grec brackets. This house is one of four in the group that kept their original curvilinear wrought-iron handrails at the stoop and areaway.
“Numbers 21-22, 21-24, 21-26 and 21-30 have their handsome original curvilinear design and wrought iron handrails at the stoop and areaway railings.”
