Description from the Bronx Survey: Another notable Greek Revival house is located at 604 City Island Avenue. Built circa 1840, it may be one of the earliest examples of the style on City Island.
The squat appearance of the house suggests this early date, Greek Revival elements include the returned cornice at gable ends, the front door flanked by sidelights and pilasters, the short windows close to the eaves at second-story level, and the four original Doric porch posts still intact on the south side of the house.
