A trio of 3-story Greek-revival residential buildings completed together in 1843 as townhouses. Each is clad in orange-red brick above brownstone basements, and low stoops leading up to doorways framed by simple classic wood pilasters. No. 4 retains its Greek Revival doorway, but its appearance has been much altered by the introduction at a later date of very unusual dentiled cornices, used as decorative accents not only above the windows but also above the entrance doorway. The bold Neo-Grec roof cornice, also a later addition, is supported by four vertical and grooved brackets, while the under side of the cornice has modillions and a continuous row of dentils beneath them.
