Architect Henry Davidson designed No. 77 Barrow Street in 1894-95 for William Gillies and Francis Smith. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls it a good example of the Eclectic style of the late 19th century. Squat columns under the entrance canopy and the decorative brickwork borrow from the Romanesque, while the roof cornice, with its pedimented gable, triglyphs, swags and rosettes, draws on classical models.
