No. 21-39 stands out in its row for a lost stoop and new basement entrance
No. 21-39 closes a group of five brick Italianate houses that Root & Rust built in the early 1870s. When the Hunters Point Historic District was designated in 1968, it was the one house of the five that had lost its stoop, replaced by an entrance at basement level, and with it the cast-iron newel posts and handrails its neighbors kept. Its acanthus-bracketed roof cornice remained.
