ARCHITECTURE: CAST IRON RESTORATION

Harlem Bespoke:  The row of identical townhouses just west of Lenox on 123rd Street have all gone through a complete renovation in recent years but Number 124 has taken the restoration a step further. Looking at all of the stoops at the front of the facade, one may notice that the handrails to the first set looks a bit more decorative and substantial.  Other homes along the line have a more modern version that has less structure as the one aforementioned.  All of these houses had at one point had the less expensive addition but the new owner at Number 124 went for a more accurate update which might have been salvaged or even replicated.  Check out our past post to see what the original stoop looked like previously: LINK
