No. 21-38 is built in wood with a steep gable and coupled front windows
Built in 1890 with its neighbors at Nos. 21-36 and 21-40, this two-story frame house over a basement is three windows wide, two of them coupled and projecting slightly over the basement. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found in 1968 that the house had been covered in asbestos shingles and had a steel stoop, while its doorway, belt courses and window openings were original.
“These houses have been covered with asbestos shingles. The roof lines, lintels, belt courses, fenestration and the doorways of Numbers 21-38 and 21-36 are original.”
