Colonial Gardens Inc. put up the six-story Finchley in 1940 to plans by M.N. Weinstein. Three recessed lightcourts split its long mid-block front into four parts, and the plain brick walls carry restrained Georgian touches: stringcourses, brick quoin patterns, a few arched stone window heads and balustrades at the roof. Its original six-over-six wood windows were still in place when the district was designated in 1993.
