DIRECTION: Just west of 254 Montgomery Street are two
similar townhouses – at 256-258 Montgomery Street.
These two matching Romanesque Revival-Chicago School
townhouses date to after 1887. The "L"-shaped stoop is
unusual. The stonework is rock-faced at the basement level,
with a fine semicircular arch over the under-stoop entrance.
Smooth sandstone veneer is used on the main level, with flat
arched openings. On the upper levels long "Roman" brick
in a cream color is used. The openings here are enframed with
beautiful terra cotta surrounds, and the semicircular arched
windows have sunburst spandrel panels. The terra cotta frieze
is particularly notable. Two faces overlook Van Vorst Park.
