We were driving through Cobble Hill on Sunday morning when and had to pull over to take a moment to admire this beautiful limestone and brick mansion building at the corner of Amity and Henry that is now the home of the Lamm Institute, a child neurology clinic. Finding our own architectural vocabulary lacking, we looked to see what the AIA Guide to New York City Architecture had to say about the 1902 building designed by Charles Hough:

Richly adorned and in dark red brick, this latter-day miniature Henry IV “hotel particulier” recalls the architecture of the Place des Vosges and the Hopital St. Louis in Paris. It is a fitting neighbor to its adjoining bourgeois row houses.

Took the words right out of our mouth.
