Developer Ernest Wenigmann had Neville & Bagge design this beige brick walk-up in 1910, trimmed in limestone and white terra cotta. Its East 166th Street front is eight bays wide above the first story, with a centered entrance framed by Doric pilasters, while the Clay Avenue side has two three-sided bays that echo, at a bigger scale, the massing of the two-family houses along the avenue.
