    Nos. 857 and 859 form a grey-brick pair with round bays and a shared stoop

    Warren C. Dickerson designed Nos. 857 and 859 Macy Place in 1900 as a mirror-image pair, two stories over a basement. Round bays flank the paired doorways in the center, and the grey brick facade has limestone trim above and brownstone at the basement. The 1983 designation report found the brownstone water table left natural at No. 859 but painted at its twin.
