No. 57 belongs to a trio of houses on the former Van Nest estate, completed in 1866 and owned by the brewer Walter W. Price. The architect Gage Inslee designed the middle house, No. 59, and the Landmarks Commission believes he also drew its neighbors, Nos. 57 and 61. Each is three stories of brick over a rusticated stone basement, with low segmental arches over the windows and a shared bracketed cornice.
“He undoubtedly designed the flanking houses, Nos. 57 and 61, which formed a group of three owned by Walter W. Price.”
