Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. gives the house neo-Georgian brick and terra-cotta details
Dreisler drew most of the design for this group of 1926-27 houses from the neo-Georgian style. The Landmarks Preservation Commission points to its Flemish-bond red brick, fanlights over the doors, terra-cotta ornament in the form of rosettes and scallop shells, and multi-pane double-hung sash. The roofs are pitched and tiled, with gables, chimneys and shed dormers, and the houses have front gardens.
