    In 1889 Samuel A. Warner designed three five-story brick apartment houses at Nos. 85, 87 and 89 Bedford Street for the estate of Letitia A. Poillon. Each has its own entrance, but continuous stone string courses between floors and a single roof cornice make them read as one building. Their rough-faced brownstone basements contrast with the brick walls above, and the splayed window lintels add detail.

    “These three brick apartment dwellings, five stories high, ... were built in 1889 ... They were all designed for the estate of Letetia A. Poillon by Samuel A. Warner.”
