Description from the Bronx Survey: An enclave of freestanding frame houses designed for the most part, in the Free Colonial style, a mode that combines such elements deriving, from eighteenth-century American architecture as shingle or clapboard, siding and classical details with the irregular massing and full width, front porches characteristic of nineteenth-century domestic architecture., The houses are set back from the tree-lined street on unusually large lots, and are reminiscent of similar dwellings found in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.
