William O'Gorman finishes No. 418 as part of a 51-house neo-Grec row
No. 418 belongs to a row of fifty-one single-family rental houses that builder William O'Gorman, acting as his own architect, put up with partner Hermann Stursberg along the whole south side of East 140th Street. The western houses, Nos. 406 to 484, were finished in January 1889. Each two-story-and-basement house is 16 feet 8 inches wide, faced in Philadelphia brick trimmed in stone, and capped by a galvanized metal cornice decorated with large spade-shaped leaves.
