History and architecture
The formal dignity of the Federal Style is evident in the character of the Twentieth Century town house. The virtues of the style are found in its excellent proportions, the refinement of its details, the quality of craftsmanship exhibited in the brickwork, laid in Flemish bond, and the quiet accents of marble trim used with discretion. All these elements are combined here to produce an outstanding architectural entity. This residence is one of a number of fine houses built during the American Renaissance of the late nineteen-twenties in New York City, reflecting the elegance of its urban taste and the expansive quality of the era.
