    60-82 68th Avenue gets a rounded bay and a pedimented stone door hood

    The house has a full-height rounded bay, stone sills and lintels, and a bracketed metal cornice with a festoon frieze. Its stone door hood sits on stone brackets beneath a triangular pediment, and the double wood-and-glass doors under it survive. Later owners repointed the brick, painted the stoop and water table, mounted iron railings on the stair walls and added an address sign and a security light beside the entrance.
