Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. dresses this house in neo-Georgian brick, fanlights and terra-cotta shells
Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. designed this two-and-a-half-story house in 1926, the last of a six-house cluster on 78th Street. The landmarks report finds the design mostly neo-Georgian: Flemish-bond red brick, fanlight transoms, terra-cotta scallop shells and rosettes, and multi-pane double-hung sash. Pitched tile roofs carry gables, shed dormers and chimneys, and each house in the group has a front garden.
