    Jeremiah Lambert's 1847 house at No. 97 Barrow Street later gains Neo-Grec details

    Jeremiah Lambert built No. 97 in 1847 as the twin of No. 95, but it was altered more heavily over time. A cornice was added over the doorway, and Neo-Grec lintels were put over the windows. Molded sills with corbel feet and a projecting bracketed roof cornice with incised panels complete the later look, though the original Greek Revival iron railings remain.
