DIRECTION: Continue north on Jersey Avenue, crossing
Montgomery Street, and walk on the side of the
street opposite the Library/Museum.
This house is attributed to Edward Simon, a prominent
late-nineteenth-century architect from Jersey City. Brick
details characteristic of Simon's architecture are seen
here in the toothed (turned on corner) brick recessed
in belt courses and recessed openings in the walls. The
brownstone detail is achieved with incised lines cut into
abstracted floral patterns. The massing is characteristically
Queen Anne. A stained-glass transom and fine double doors
contribute to a very light treatment of the entry.
