Description from the Bronx Survey: A good example of the Greek Revival style in transition is located at 150 Carroll Street , east of City Island Avenue, The house is similar in plan to the Greek Revival structure at 295 City Island Avenue, although the gable end of the main section is turned to the street in a manner more typical of the style.
At both corners attenuated Doric pilasters give visual support to massive cornice blocks and the heavy returned cornice, which imitates in wood the classical entablature of its ancient prototype. The front entrance, located at the left, has an unusual triple panelled door flanked by sidelights.
To the right are French doors which, like the entrance, are ornamented with boxed architraves. In contrast to these Greek Revival elements is the front porch where turned posts are linked by delicate jigsawed trelliage; such a combination of detail is typical of Victorian eclecticism.
