A five-story brownstone old law tenement building built in 192 that has since lost its defining brownstone features, iron railings, stoop and cornice.

The exterior restoration consisted of removing the existing tripartite color scheme at the street façade and reintroducing a uniform brownstone colored coating with tooled markings reminiscent of the former brownstone coursing since lost. Similarly, a tooling treatment was introduced at the parapet level again paying homage to the forgotten cornice.

Although the project started as an exterior restoration at all facades including roof level; the rear façade scope of work transformed into a full-height reconstruction due to extensive damage to the masonry piers mostly due to poor placement of through-wall sleeves/air conditioner units. An opportunity arose to provide a distinct back of house architecture to the newly rebuilt rear wall taking advantage of the greenery in the rear garden and abutting rear yards of adjacent properties.
