The design firm of Thom and Wilson produced many speculative row houses in the neighborhood as the elevated railways opened Harlem to development. These five houses from 1887-88 exhibit ornate details such as the carved wooden doors and Moorish-style horseshoe arches. Close examination of the masonry will reward the observer with other delights such as fruits, birds, sea creatures and winged griffins.
