    No. 287 blends neo-Grec pilasters with Queen Anne sunburst panels

    Completed in 1881-1882 to designs by Charles W. Romeyn, No. 287 shows a style midway between French neo-Grec and Queen Anne. At its doorway, grooved neo-Grec pilasters carry an entablature decorated with small sunburst panels, a Queen Anne touch. Horizontal stone band courses at the lintels and first-floor sills, and a common cornice height, bind it to the other eleven houses of its row.
