Christopher Gray serves of some Brownstone-y goodness in his regular Sunday column this week. The topic? The twelve unique Queen Anne rowhouses on the south side of 95th Street between Park and Lexington–a favorite stretch of ours. The brick, sandstone and terra cotta houses were designed by C. Abbott French & Company for the developers John P. C. Walsh and William J. Walsh. The variety of the houses is due to the a la carte approach of the developers, which gave buyers the ability to pick from a wide range of colors, materials and architectural details.
