A small mansard-roofed house is finished for James Montgomery by 1874
No. 293 East 139th Street is a two-story house with a mansard roof, completed by 1874 for James Montgomery. Its arched dormers echo the shape of the window lintels on the floor below. When the district was designated in 1969, the landmarks report noted that a large tree in front of the little house all but hid it from view in summer.
“This two story house with a mansard roof was also completed by 1874 and was built for James Montgomery.”
