Red brick and egg-and-dart doorways set apart the 867-869 Macy Place pair
No. 867 forms a round-bay double house with No. 869, two stories over a basement, in red brick with limestone trim above and brownstone at the basement. Its doorway is edged with egg-and-dart molding and topped by a flat pediment on carved brackets, and it has a single glazed wooden door with a transom. Molded frames surround the second-floor windows and run down into their sills.

Theodore Macy develops his street with double houses by Warren C. Dickerson
No. 867 belongs to a row of five nearly identical double houses on the north side of Macy Place, a street developed by Theodore Macy and named for him. Warren C. Dickerson designed the pairs in 1900, in the neo-Renaissance manner with Romanesque Revival touches he also used in the neighboring Longwood blocks. Plans for the IRT subway linking the Bronx with Manhattan prompted this early rowhouse building in Morrisania.
“The developer of Macy Place was Theodore Macy, after whom the street is named.”
