Landmarks report notes the round-arched and segmental windows and iron balconies of No. 306
No. 306 is one of four eight-family apartment houses built by Thomas Overington for John Demarest. In its 1969 designation report the commission pointed to the contrast between the round-arched windows of the first floor and the segmental arches above, and to the tiers of curving wrought-iron balconies on the upper floors, details it saw as nearly the only relief from the row's imposing plainness.
