    In 1883 the architect Ralph S. Townsend designed two five-story brownstone apartment buildings, Nos. 91 and 93 Bedford Street, for J. H. Havens and R. C. Winters. Number 91 still has its original doorway, doors and inner vestibule. Smooth and rock-faced stone are set against each other, and carved human heads serve as keystones over the arched ground-floor openings.

    “No. 91 retains its original doorway, doors and inner vestibule.”
