Tax assessors list the brick-faced wooden house at 313 East 140th Street under H. C. Winter
Built of wood but faced in brick, this three-story house was already standing in 1874, when the tax assessment listed it under the name of H. C. Winter. The Landmarks Preservation Commission described it as a generously proportioned house in the everyday style of its period. Tall first-floor windows contrast with the shorter ones above, the front is capped by a cornice on four upright console brackets, and the high basement has windows set above the sidewalk.
“This three story frame house with a brick front was already built by 1874, when it was assessed to H. C. Winter.”
