One of the truly great blocks in the world of urbane row housing, built as a real estate development by Harvey Murdock. Seeking the picturesque, he commissioned noted architect C. P. H. Gilbert to create most of the scene. An Art Moderne amber brick apartment house closes the vista at 8th Avenue-an accidental and successful containment of the street’s space. Gilbert’s works are in a powerful Romanesque Revival, with rock-face brownstone, brick, and terra-cotta strongly arched and linteled. Dixon contributed a fussy neoclassicism. The ensemble, however, is a symphony of materials and textures.
