DIRECTION: Turn right (west) on York Street. Notice the row
of Italianate townhouses facing the Park.
Here the hand-carved brownstone-detail diminishes with
each level rise. The basement is heavily rusticated with
vermiculated stone that appears to have irregular holes cut
into it. This contrasts with the upper three floors of smooth
veneer stone. The cornice is typical with its bracketed
supports. Of interest is the fine stone carving on the
bracket-supported pediments over the entrances and windows.
Note how each level has a different window treatment. These
houses have been traced to the 1850s.
