Joseph T. Dennis designs No. 314 Alexander Avenue as his own house
Joseph T. Dennis designed this three-story brick house for himself in 1887. It sits beside Andrew J. O'Dell's six-house row to the south and closely resembles it. The deep overhang over Dennis's doorway matches the row's, but where the O'Dell houses have pediments, No. 314 has an ordinary bracketed entablature. The landmarks report judged that its small differences strengthen rather than spoil the unity of the block.
