The row, completed in 1886, is a kaleidoscope of Moorish elements in brick, with multiple-centered arches, intricate banding and unusual projecting cornices. According to the New York Times, "the Real Estate Record and Guide reported that Guastavino was designing the row of houses for the French-born developer Bernard S. Levy."[1] Guastavino also designed a row across the street, at 118–134 West 78th, but in brownstone.[1] References1. ^1 Christopher Gay, Streetscapes/121-131 West 78th Street, Between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues; A Row of 1886 Houses That Hold a Colorful Mystery"The New York Times, May 25, 2003 |
