    Root & Rust built No. 21-47 in the 1870s as one of six simple Italianate brick houses, Nos. 21-41 through 21-51, each three stories over a basement on a 16-foot lot. Its lintels and sills are plain. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's district report noted that the house still had its stoop, though its iron handrails dated from a later period, unlike the cast-iron rails at Nos. 21-41, 21-49 and 21-51.
