No. 423 is finished in Hornum's varied row on East 140th Street
Begun in June 1897, the row that includes No. 423 was completed in January 1900 to designs by Walter H.C. Hornum. Its brick-and-stone single-family houses, some two stories over a basement and some three, are mostly set back 15 feet from the lot line, and the shorter ones come in pairs. The buildings range from about 17 to 22 feet wide, and a four-story Old Law tenement for five families anchors the row's west end at No. 407.
