Rowhouse idea 2 : 5-story-Rowhouse by Neville&B

 

 

This residence was designed by Neville & Bagge and constructed in 1897 for R. Todd as part of a row of seven five-story brick and stone Renaissance Revival Style store and flats buildings.

Construction of this block occurred in response to the expansion of transportation and influx of European immigrants into Upper Manhattan in the late 19th century.

 

 

 

 

 The area later became an important epicenter of the Harlem Renaissance from the early 1920s to the 1940s. In 1925, the building was home to Ferdinand Q. Morton, politician and attorney who was the first Black member of the New York Municipal Civil Service Commission and affiliated with Tammany Hall who ran for New York State Assembly in 1935.

 The facades of this residence are organized in three sections horizontally, divided by continuous string courses running below the third and fifth stories. The building’s Renaissance Revival-style elements include molded stone enframements on second-story windows, stone lintels on third and fourth-story windows, arched windows with keystones and brick pilasters on the fifth-story windows, brick quoins and a modillioned metal cornice with dentils and a paneled frieze.

 

 

이 주거지는 Neville & Bagge가 설계했으며 1897년에 R. Todd를 위해 5층 벽돌과 석조 르네상스 리바이벌 스타일 상점과 아파트 건물 7개로 이루어진 줄의 일부로 건설되었습니다.
이 블록의 건설은 19세기 후반에 교통이 확장되고 유럽 이민자들이 어퍼 맨해튼으로 유입되면서 이루어졌습니다.

이 지역은 나중에 1920년대 초부터 1940년대까지 할렘 르네상스의 중요한 중심지가 되었습니다. 1925년에 이 건물은 정치인이자 변호사인 Ferdinand Q. Morton의 집이 되었는데, 그는 뉴욕 시 공무원 위원회의 첫 흑인 위원이었 Tammany Hall과 제휴했으며 1935년에 뉴욕 주 의회에 출마했습니다.

이 주거지의 외관은 수평으로 3개 구역으로 구성되어 있으며, 3층과 5층 아래로 이어지는 연속된 줄로 나뉩니다. 건물의 르네상스 리바이벌 스타일 요소에는 2층 창문의 성형된 돌 프레임, 3층과 4층 창문의 돌 문설주, 쐐기돌이 있는 아치형 창문과 5층 창문의 벽돌 기둥, 벽돌 모서리 장식, 덴틸이 있는 모딜리온 금속 처마 장식과 패널로 된 프리즈가 포함됩니다.
