    59-19 71st Avenue opens in 1910 as a brick flats building with carved stone trim

    This three-story flats building with a basement was part of the 1910 row filed as NB 1287-1910, whose architect and original owner remain unknown. It kept its residential ground floor: five bays at street level under rough-faced lintels with foliated keystones, incised stone panels below the first-story sills, and a molded entrance lintel on leafy brackets. Its brownstone stoop side walls were later rebuilt in brick, but historic cast-iron posts and a wrought-iron fence and gate still guard the areaway.
