This, and the adjacent matching house at 115 Eighth Avenue, are
rock-face red sandstone and Roman brick. The Carroll Street arch is
worthy of Henry H. Richardson, incised with naturalistic bas-reliefs,
and supported by clusters of Romanesque-capped columns. These are major
Romanesque Revival buildings. |
