The paired tenements at 19-21 Downing Street carry flowers and flourishes in cast iron and stone
The Landmarks Preservation Commission singles out the double tenement at 19-21 Downing Street, built in 1877 by G. W. La Baw & Son of New Jersey, as one of the most elegant neo-Grec tenements in the Greenwich Village Extension II. Varied stylized flower motifs decorate the cast-iron storefront piers and the stone lintels and sills, and the pressed-metal cornices sit on fluted brackets ending in abstract pendants.
