    44-72 23rd Street is built with terra-cotta tiles set into its bow front

    44-72 23rd Street belongs to a row of five two-story houses built on 23rd Street in 1887. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called the style a modified Romanesque Revival finished with Classical cornices. The bow front carries a vertical strip of three square terra-cotta tiles in relief, the sheet-metal cornice has an acanthus-scroll fascia and egg-and-dart molding, and the metal railings have ornamental scrolls at their widely spaced spindles.
