Description from the Bronx Survey: Built in 1892 is the Quen Anne style residence found at 1076 Cauldwell Avenue. The single family two and one-half story dwelling was designed by the architect Charles C. Churchill at a cost of $6,000. The frame house exhibits a charming porch at the first floor level. A triangular pediment on turned posts appears over the stoop and to the right, tiny turned balusters under the cornice echo the balustrade that runs below. At second story level there is an arched, recessed porch directly above the main entrance.
To its right are two rectangular windows topped by the main gable of the house, which is ornamented with imbricated shingles, a feature common to the style. Standing together, 1074 and 1076 Cauldwell Avenue represent an earlier tradition of commodious wooden domestic structures amidst the urban blocks of today’s Bronx.
