Patterned brick and urn-topped porticoes give 37-16 to 37-20 83rd Street a neo-Romanesque look
Franklin, Bates & Heindsmann faced this 1927-28 apartment house in textured brick worked into neo-Romanesque patterns: bands near the ground, diaper patterns, and notched corbels at the top. Its two courtyard entrances are matching brick porticoes with urns on flanking pedestals, and paired multi-pane wooden doors with transoms remain, though fixed canopies have been added.
“The two courtyard entrances are identical brick porticoes with flanking pedestals bearing urns... Fixed canopies have been added to the entrances.”
