Louis Berger & Company designs the house with a curved bay and a full-width porch
Read more
Berger gave the brick front a curved bay rising its full height and a porch across its width, with bands of rough-faced brick, rough-faced stone lintels and a cornice with consoles, swags and egg-and-dart moldings. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed it, the porch had been replaced except for its roof, now sheathed in sheet metal, with new brick columns and metal railings; the stoop railings were also new, but the original front door survived.
