    Carved lions' faces decorate the original brownstone stoop of 59-21 71st Avenue

    One of eight flats buildings erected on 71st Avenue in 1910 under permit NB 1287-1910, this Renaissance Revival house still has its original brownstone stoop, whose side walls carry carved lions' faces. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found few changes when it surveyed the building: a painted stoop and water table, a newer pendant light at the entrance and electrical conduit. Its cornice, cast-iron areaway posts and wrought-iron fence are historic.
