34. 28-30 West 123rd Street
Notice the unusual narrowness of these two dwellings -- they measure just thirteen feet wide as opposed to the typical twenty foot width of rowhouses such as those to the east. John E. Terhune designed these Queen Anne brick and stone homes in 1884-85 with a freedom from design constraints not previously accepted by clients and developers. This departure from the boxiness of traditional brownstones allowed Terhune to include lively ornamentation such as the floral panels below the windows of the parlor floor and the original wooden doors.
