Built between 1897 and 1900 to designs by Walter H.C. Hornum for developer William O'Gorman, No. 413 is one of the row's two-story-and-basement houses, paired with a matching neighbor. The 1994 designation report notes that it still has a balustrade at the parapet above its galvanized metal cornice. Its stone stoop, lined with brick cheekwalls, rises from a paved landing in a planted areaway.
“…all have flat roofs and matching galvanized metal cornices (No. 413 retains a parapet balustrade)…”
