A 1920s remodeling removes the stoop and adds a basement entrance
Read more
The house appears to have been remodeled once in the 1920s, when wood casement windows and iron flower-box holders were installed. The stoop was taken off at the same time and a basement entrance put in. Before that, someone had painted the stone basement and cut a narrow horizontal window at eye level, and glass jalousies were fitted in the small fourth-floor windows.
“The basement entrance was evidently installed at this time when the stoop was removed.”
