60-34 70th Avenue retains its original cornice, door, stoop ironwork and fence
Read more
At the 2014 landmarks survey this house still had its original cornice, a bracketed pressed-metal design trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings, the original front door and brownstone stoop, cast-iron newel posts with wrought-iron railings, historic basement windows and the original iron areaway fence and gate. Changes were few: a painted water table, a newer wall lamp by the door, conduit and an alarm box.
