    An 1889 Queen Anne apartment house rises at 21-46 45th Avenue

    No. 21-46 is one of three brick apartment houses built in 1889 on the south side of the block, Nos. 21-42 through 21-46. Its sheetmetal cornice has a tall fascia and wraps around the projecting three-sided bays, which climb the full four stories and give the facade a pronounced outline. The Landmarks Preservation Commission described the group as interesting late examples of the Queen Anne style.

    “…makes these buildings interesting late examples of the Queen Anne style.”
