1889
No. 87 Bedford is the middle house of Warner's 1889 trio for the Poillon estate
Number 87 sits between Nos. 85 and 89 in a group of three apartment buildings that Samuel A. Warner planned together in 1889. The commission praises the group as a good example of intelligent planning: the buildings share floor-by-floor stone bands and a roof cornice, so the trio looks like a single facade. The simple geometric stone lintels above the doorways were added later.
“The stone lintels above the entrance doorways with simple geometric forms represent additions of a later date.”
