    The 1852 house at 391 Bleecker Street carries sheet-metal lintels and unusual cast-iron railings

    Built in 1852 for Henry Sankston as the twin of 389, this four-story brick house is singled out by the Landmarks Preservation Commission for its sheet-metal window lintels. Cast-iron railings in an unusual design guard two of its parlor-floor windows. Its muntined windows shrink in size on each higher floor.
