Landmarks report singles out the deep bracketed eaves of the Beck Street corner house
The 1980 Longwood report describes No. 968, on the southwest corner of Beck Street, as a three-story two-family house from the early twentieth century. Its main door on East 156th Street sits under a heavy bracketed hood, and a one-story wing at the north end holds a second entrance. The report calls the flat roof, with deep eaves carried on wide stylized brackets, its most striking feature.
“The most striking feature of the residence is the flat roof with deep, overhanging eaves supported on unusual, wide, stylized brackets.”
