60-36 70th Avenue loses its stoop's cast-iron newel posts but keeps its cornice

The 2014 landmarks survey found that the cast-iron newel posts had been taken off this house's stoop and that its historic wrought-iron stoop railings had been modified. The stoop and water table were painted and the front door replaced. Its bracketed cornice of pressed metal, trimmed with swags and egg-and-dart moldings, remained, as did the original cast-iron posts and wrought-iron fence in front.
