No. 54 Barrow Street is one of two matching five-story apartment buildings, with No. 52, that Alphonse Hogemaner put up in 1891 to replace frame dwellings. Architect Bruno W. Berger gave the pair Neo-Grec facades with brick pilasters and elaborate cornice brackets. The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that the first story and cornice of No. 54 were altered in 1928, and its doorway is flanked by spiral columns with Romanesque-style capitals.
