About this property

146–156 East 89th Street are a group of six Queen Anne style houses on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. They were originally part of a group of ten designed by Hubert, Pirrson & Company in the Queen Anne style. The houses were constructed by developer William Rhinelander in 1886–1887. The houses share materials and decorations, although the decorations on each house are arranged differently. Each house is made of brick and is trimmed with terracotta and stone, capped by a mansard roof with a dormer. Decorations such as wreaths and swags; doors with paneling; and sunflowers and roses were used extensively, and all except one of the houses is 12 feet (3.7 m) wide.
