1887
44-70 23rd Street goes up as the northern end of a row of five bow-fronted houses
Built in 1887, 44-70 23rd Street is one of five matching houses running from 44-70 to 44-78 in what is now the Hunters Point Historic District. Each house is three windows wide, two stories over a full basement, with two windows set in a shallow bow front. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the row in 1968, its stoops, cornices, lintels, doors and windows were still original.
“These five houses of 1887 are three windows wide; two of the windows are set into shallow bow-fronts.”
