History
This group of four brick houses with two bays two and a half stories, Nos. 912-914 1/2, were built, designed, and owned by B.H. Warner & Co. as a speculative project in 1887. The houses have molded brick arches over the windows and a dentilled brick cornice runs the length of the houses.
Nos. 914 and 914 1/2 have doors lowered to ground level and windows fronted by small balconies directly above the doors. In 1987, the owner of No. 914 requested from HPRB approval for a 12' rear addition with a projecting bay.
