    Thomas gives 34-14 the plain symmetrical front of the Chateau's 'B' buildings

    Each six-building row of the Chateau follows an A-B-C-C-B-A pattern, and 34-14, second from 34th Avenue on 81st Street, is one of the 'B' buildings: symmetrical, five stories, with a flush facade. Like the rest of the complex it carries a slate mansard roof with dormers, Flemish bond brickwork and a stone entry portal with colonnettes and a hood, and brick walls with iron gates close the passages into the garden.
