Four brick houses of 1847-48 bring a rare Gothic Revival style to the Village
Nos. 5-11 Charles Street were built in 1847-48 in a simplified Gothic Revival, a style the Landmarks Commission calls rare in the Village. Drip moldings over the doors mark it; No. 9 keeps its original look best. At No. 7 the stoop was removed and a basement entrance added, though the drip molding survives over the window that replaced the old front doorway.
