Describing the Towers in 1993, the Landmarks Preservation Commission noted large stone griffons guarding the iron gates into the interior garden, and many of the original six-over-six wood sash windows still in place behind storm sash. It found the rear facades plainer than the street fronts but carrying on some of their design.
“…large stone griffons flanking the iron gates leading to the interior garden ... Many original six-over-six wood sash windows survive behind storm sash.”
