    Laurel Court borrows the neo-classical look of Edwardian England

    George H. Wells gave the Laurel Court buildings brick fronts with stone trim, a stone base and a classically inspired entrance portico. On each of the three southern buildings, including No. 33-17, the portico projects and carries a parapet with ironwork. Above sit single and three-part window bays and shallow three-sided oriels clad in metal. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1993 report found the original cornice surviving only on the Northern Boulevard side of the corner building.
