A row of six brick houses goes up on the south side of Twelfth Street
This house is one of six brick houses, Nos. 21-22 to 21-32, built in 1887 on what was then Twelfth Street, two stories over a basement. They have stone stoops, plain lintels and deep wooden cornices with four Neo-Grec brackets. In 1968 the Landmarks Preservation Commission noted that No. 21-26 still had its original curving wrought-iron handrails on 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.”
