A trio where bay windows are presented as an academic design exercise-a square, a semicircle, and a triangle-creating a picturesque ensemble. Back to back through the block, the same grouping occurs similarly at 11-17 Polhemus Place. The voussoirs might be studied for their lively bas reliefs, particularly at No. 14.
