1921
The old row house at 216 Thompson Street is raised a floor and given a neo-Medieval look
In 1921 the row house at 216 Thompson Street was raised a floor and its facade reworked with neo-Medieval details, and it now has a crenellated cornice and corbelled brick beltcourses. Two years earlier, in 1919, the stoop had been taken off and the heights of the parlor floor and basement changed. Storefronts now occupy the ground floor.
