George H. Wells gives the Hawthorne Court buildings his trademark projecting entrances
Wells designed this building and its thirteen neighbors in a neo-Georgian manner, with Flemish-bond brick, white stone trim and stone quoins at each slightly projecting center bay. The jutting entrance porches, which the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls a hallmark of his work, sit on short stoops; from one building to the next they switch between flat pilasters and engaged Doric columns, and the iron railings on top change pattern too.
“The projecting entrances -- a hallmark of Wells's work -- have short stoops; they alternate from building to building in the use of flat pilasters or engaged Doric columns.”
