  1. 1882

    No. 279 is built with a doorway paired with its neighbor's under one shared frame

    No. 279 belongs to the twelve-house row that Charles Romeyn designed for Thomas Kilpatrick, completed in 1882. Its door is set beside the next house's within a common surround: grooved neo-Grec pilasters topped by an entablature with small Queen Anne sunburst panels. Stone band courses and a single roof cornice height tie the whole row together as a planned block.
