A tree-lined street with parked cars and classic red brick townhouses; a person pushes a stroller along the sidewalk under dappled sunlight. The image shows the front of a red brick townhouse with four windows and a door. There are stairs and black railings leading up to the entrance, and some greenery is visible on the left side. A black metal railing lines brownstone steps leading to a brick building entrance with a black-framed window and a lit wall lamp above the door numbered 367. Green foliage is visible on the left. A silver car is parked in front of a three-story red brick townhouse with black trim and steps leading to the front door, on a sunny day with clear blue skies and leafy green trees.

Location

Cobble Hill

These four individual townhouses, built as a single development, were designed to occupy long-vacant lots on both sides of the elaborate 1902 Dudley Memorial corner building. Within the Cobble Hill Historic District, they create a coherent streetscape, weaving together the brownstone townhouse typology of both streets with the 1902 red brick presence on the corner.

They are quietly contemporary, with inventive details that show respect for the architectural language of rusticated bases, entrance stoops, railings, sills, lintels, and cornices of their 19th century neighbors.

These hint at the more overtly modern interiors and bay windows of the rear façades, which fill the rooms with natural light and views of intact rear yards extending throughout the block. Each townhouse is approximately 4,900 square feet.
