Wells gives the Greystones crenelated parapets and Tudor-arched porches, a style Queensboro would reuse
For the Greystones Wells turned from the Georgian and Federal styling of his earlier Colonial Apartments to Tudor sources. The buildings got continuous crenelated parapets, tower-like entrance bays and Tudor-arched entry porches trimmed with ogival transoms, panels and finials in leaded glass. The report notes that the Tudor manner later became popular in other Queensboro buildings.
“Wells turned to a different English source for the Greystones, the Tudor, which would become popular in future Queensboro buildings.”
