    William Buckland's Greek Revival row of 1838-39 gives 92 Bank Street its doorway and stoop railings

    Nos. 92-96 Bank Street were put up in 1838-39 on land mason William Buckland bought at the end of 1838. Number 92 still has its Greek Revival doorway and a stoop rail whose original newel posts sit on round stone pedestals. Like its neighbors, it was later raised to three full stories and given a bracketed cornice.

    “The row was built on land purchased at the end of 1838 by William Buckland, mason, who was taxed for Nos. 94 and 96…”
