    34-30 shares the Chateau's French Renaissance styling likened to Henri IV

    Permit No. 549 of 1922 covered 34-30 81st Street, one of the Chateau's two mirror-image center buildings. The complex's style, drawn from French Renaissance work, was compared to the architecture of King Henri IV of France: slate mansard roofs with dormers and finials, decorative brick chimneys, Flemish bond facing, and segmentally arched doorways holding glass doors behind ornamental iron grilles.
