John Hauser gives No. 417 a segmental-arched entrance and round-arched parlor windows
No. 417 is one of the row's two 'B' houses and matches No. 423 except at the door: here the entrance sits under a segmental brick arch, where No. 423 has a flat one. Its two parlor-story windows are round-arched, with rock-faced brownstone keystones and smooth imposts decorated with circles. Like its neighbors it has a high stone stoop with original wrought-iron railings.
