No. 417 shows the row's slender side reveals anchored by carved stone bosses
No. 417 is one of six two-story-and-basement houses, arranged in pairs, in an eleven-building row that William O'Gorman developed on the north side of East 140th Street between 1897 and 1900. Architect Walter H.C. Hornum mixed Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival ornament across the row, and varied the brick color and trim of each pair. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's report singles out No. 417 as its example of narrow side reveals that end in carved stone bosses at the second floor.
