By Herbert J. Githens
This high-styled landmark was designed by Frederick G.
Withers, architect of the Jefferson Market Courthouse in
Greenwich Village; it was built in 1884. Withers worked as
an eclectic in many styles. Here the corner house is clad
in Flemish Renaissance garb complete with stepped gables,
Palladian window, and bracket-supported projections. Principal
walling materials of fine brick and terra cotta sit on a
sturdy brownstone foundation. Note the dormer window, which
is sheathed in copper, facing Jersey Avenue. The ironwork
around the balconies is of original design. This is perhaps
the finest house of all the fine houses built on Van Vorst Park
