Description from the Bronx Survey:
The residence at 51 Carroll Street between City Island Avenue and Eastchester Bay is a notable example of the vernacular Italianate style in transition and probably dates from the late 1850’s or early 1860’s.
As in 65 Schofield Street, the square plan, overhanging eaves with double brackets and tall sash windows typify the style. Another element frequently found on Italianate farmhouses is the small, square cupola which tops the roof and echoes the massing of the house itself.
At ground floor level, however, are traces of the Greek Revival style such as the sidelights flanking the front door and the Doric porch posts which indicate a slightly earlier date than would be given to purely Italianate structures.
