George F. Pelham fits a six-story apartment building onto a narrow lot at 79 Barrow Street
George F. Pelham designed the present six-story building in 1906 for W. W. Conley, giving most of the narrow front to windows. They sit in pairs at each side with three at the center, separated by wide horizontal bands of brick. The recessed ground floor, with planter boxes on a low brick wall, is thought to be a later 20th-century alteration.
