This is a magnificent example of classic Brooklyn brownstone architecture, characteristic of 19th century New York. The facades are made of brown sandstone (brownstone), giving the street a harmonious appearance with neo-Renaissance elements typical of this style.
The expressive details of the facades deserve special attention: ornamental stone window casings, richly decorated door portals with elegant pilasters and architraves. The classical proportions are emphasized by the vertical rhythm of tall windows that decrease in size with each subsequent floor, creating a visual effect of upward aspiration.
The central elements of the composition are the monumental staircases leading to the entrances, framed by cast-iron railings with characteristic intricate patterns. These "stoops" served not only as functional elements elevating living quarters above street level but also as important social spaces in urban life.
For modern private construction, several techniques can be borrowed from this specimen: symmetrical window placement, decorative framing of window and door openings, use of natural materials with expressive textures, and creation of a transitional zone between street and home in the form of an elevated porch with stairs. Even in a contemporary interpretation, these elements will lend respectability and architectural value to a facade.
