20. 4 to 16 West 122nd
Street
Only two
short years after completing this notable row of homes in
1888-89, architect William B. Tuthill found himself the fortunate
recipient of the commission to design Carnegie Hall, quite
unusual for a relatively unknown member of the profession.
For these homes, his design is a conservative version of Renaissance
carvings and stained glass. The high stoop entrances have
immense newel posts and many turns, exceeded in their majesty
by those on the homes across the street (next site).
