1887
A two-story brick house with a Neo-Grec cornice joins a row of six built in 1887
This is one of six brick houses, numbers 21-22 through 21-32, completed on the south side of the avenue in 1887. Each stands two stories tall over a basement, with a stone stoop and a deep wooden cornice held up by four Neo-Grec brackets. Like its neighbor at 21-22, this house retained its original wrought-iron handrails in a curving pattern, while 21-32 later lost both its ironwork and its stoop.
“This fine group of six brick houses is two stories high with basement. It was built in 1887, and the stone stoops and the cornices are intact.”
