Inscription.
In 1896, the prolific architectural firm of Neville & Babbe designed and built this carefully-balanced, six-story Neo-Classical apartment building with two eight-room apartments per floor. The building has a rusticated limestone base, brick upper levels trimmed with terra cotta, and a crowning metal cornice. Directly east of the building are four circa 1855 Anglo-Italianate townhouses, two with brownstone facades, 105 East 19th Street marks the beginning of a two-block expanse of distinctive 19th century residential architecture. This includes the well-preserved examples of early 20th century alterations to 19th century row houses found on 19th Street’s “Block Beautiful”, between Irving Place and Third Avenue.
