    44-74 23rd Street rises in a Romanesque Revival row that kept its original details

    The two-story house at 44-74 23rd Street dates from 1887 and is the middle house of a row of five built to one design between 44-70 and 44-78. Its window lintels carry incised decoration at the keystones and impost blocks, and a sheet-metal cornice with brackets and an acanthus-scroll fascia runs along the roofline. In its 1968 report creating the Hunters Point Historic District, the Landmarks Preservation Commission found the row's stoops, doors and windows unaltered.
