869 Macy Place mirrors its neighbor in a round-bay red brick pair
No. 869 is one half of a mirror-image double house shared with No. 867, two stories over a basement with rounded bays and brownstone stoops. The red brick front has limestone trim on the first and second stories, and its first-floor windows sit in molded surrounds with lintel and sill courses carried across the bays. In 1983 its basement brownstone trim was still unpainted, unlike No. 867's.
