    No. 21-36 goes up as one of three wooden Queen Anne-style houses

    No. 21-36 belongs to a group of three wood houses built in 1890, two stories over a basement with a steep gable at the roof. The 1968 landmarks report calls them pared-down versions of the Queen Anne style, a style found more in the suburbs than on town houses. By then the houses were covered in asbestos shingles and No. 21-36 had a steel stoop, but it kept its original doorway, lintels and roof line.
