Carnegie Hill, Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States

This nineteenth century frame house, on a side street, comes as a delightful surprise. Time and change have passed it by, as well as the very similar frame house that adjoins it to the east. It has a front yard with iron railing and stands three stories above a high brick basement.

A steep flight of wood steps leads to a porch with open-work columns. The handsome paneled double front door with rope moldings is at the right and a pair of French doors at the left. The shuttered windows at all floors have handsome wood frames surmounted by cornices with modillions and this theme is repeated at the prominent cornice of the porch roof. The clapboard front wall is surmounted by an Italianate cornice carried on evenly spaced brackets with panels in between.
