    George H. Wells dresses the Greystone row in castle-like neo-Tudor details

    Wells gave the fourteen gray-brick buildings stone basements, keyed stone window trim, crenelated parapets and tower-like entrance bays. Their Tudor-arched porches carry ogival leaded-glass transoms and finials. The buildings alternate between two variants: one with diamond panels, pyramidal finials and a triangular pediment, the other with quatrefoil panels, cylindrical finials and a squared pediment, each pediment pierced by a narrow slit window.
