Landmarks surveyors find 60-66 still has its original front door and swagged cornice
Read more
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission recorded the house in its December 2014 report, the main door was still the original one, as was the cornice with its consoles and swags. The stone door hood with incised ornament and a triangular pediment also survived. Changes included new stoop railings, a mailbox where the stoop vent grille had been, and an awning; at the back, the curved bay kept a historic wood balcony.
