About
The rowhouse reigns on New York City streets. The pre-war elegance, the iconic brownstones, high stoops defined blocks for generations. And we love them.

Styles depicted on the print:
Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Anglo-Italianate, Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Neo-Grec, Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival, Renaissance Revival, Beaux Arts.
FAQ: Where's the brownstone? What's a brownstone?
"Brownstone" is often used as a catchall term for NYC rowhouse but traditionally refers to rowhouses whose facades are made of a specific brown-colored sandstone. The brownstone is perhaps most closely linked with (but not exclusive to) the Italianate style.
