DESIGNATION REPORT CLIP:

From the Greenwich Village Historic District Designation Report, published by the LPC in 1969:

This row of seven elegant brick Greek. Revival town houses was
built for Henry Brevoort, Jr.,  in 1844-45. Five were gifts to his
five daughters, and this broke up the remainder of the old Brevoort
Farm. No. 20 remains virtually unaltered from its original appearance.
The attractive wrought ironwork of the stoop and yard railings and
the cast iron railings of the floor-length drawing room windows are the
originals. The muntined windows of the low attic appear unchanged at
the third floor, and the dentiled roof cornice is the original. A
fourth floor studio has been added, but it has been set back so as not
to minimize the beauty of the cornice. The rusticated basement, such
as may be still seen at No. 14, has been smooth-stuccoed.

The ironwork for this entire row is an exceptionally well preserved
example typical of the late Greek Revival period. The yard and stoop
railings display decorative castings at the base, and the drawing room
window railings have a diamond-shaped central field with border. The
original doorways with sloping or battered sides and “eared” frames at
the top, surmounted by a cornice, may still be seen at Nos. 14, 16 and
20. The doors with their pilastered frames, sidelights, and transoms
are but little altered.

Nos. 14 and 18 were later “Federalized” by the addition of swagged
stone panels above the first floor doors and windows and, in the case
of No. 18, by the substitution of a simple round-arched brick doorway
for the one with Greek pilasters.

It is interesting to note that the original dentiled roof cornice
remains basically intact, except at houses Nos. 18 and 26, and in all
cases the cornice height is the same, giving the row a unified appearance.
This has been achieved despite the raising of most of the attic
windows to a height desired in the Twentieth Century. No. 22, although
remodeled with a white brick front, retains its attic window openings
and dentiled roof cornice. The wood sash has been replaced by steel
casements, yet the ironwork at the front remains intact. The doorway
is the original with a door of a later period. This is the only house
in this row in which the first floor windowsills have been raised.
Nos. 24 and 26 have been remodeled to provide basement entrances, but
have retained much of their original appearance. Nos. 14, 18, and
24 are the only ones to retain the rustication of their stone basements.
No. 24 retains its floor-length parlor story windows with handsome cast
iron railings and a third one added, replacing the former front door.
