1929
High school teacher Beatrix DiSalvo builds a Colonial Revival house designed by Owen Gowman
Beatrix DiSalvo, a teacher at George Washington High School in Manhattan, had this Colonial Revival house built to designs by the architect Owen Gowman, and it was finished in 1929. Its front door is framed by fluted pilasters and a many-paned transom, with a window rising above the pediment. A toothed (denticulated) cornice, slate roof and a brick chimney topped by a corbelled cap complete the design, which has changed little since it was built.
“…built in 1929 for owner Beatrix DiSalvo, who taught at George Washington High School in Manhattan…”
