  1. 1914

    60-26 68th Avenue joins the block around 1914 with a full-height curved bay

    Put up around 1914, several years after the adjacent row, this two-story Renaissance Revival house has a rounded bay rising its full height, stone sills and water table, lintels with incised curvilinear designs and a bracketed metal cornice hung with festoons. Its architect and original owner are unknown. Later owners shaved the hood over the entrance, added an aluminum awning and side panels at the door, and rebuilt the stoop in brick and stone.

    “Building Notes: No NB found. Building constructed several years after adjacent row.”
