104-5144-0058 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, 1916 A very similar two-bay, two-story, hipped-roof brick dwelling as 700 Lexington Avenue, 712 Lexington Avenue was built one year later in 1916 by engineer John George Harbottle. The house has a metal roof with cross gables flush with the facade and south elevation and a gabled wing to the rear of the building that projects beyond the north elevation. The brick is laid in common bond, though each of the corners is marked by brick quoins and the 2nd story is visually terminated by a brick stringcourse. A porch wraps around the entire facade and the north elevation, terminating where it meets the projecting wing. Slender freestanding and engaged Doric columns support the porch, with a simple balustrade and a simple cornice with dentils. The entrance is located in the north bay of the west-facing facade and has an elliptical fanlight with tracery and sidelights. The other 1st floor bay, as well as each of the two bays of the 2nd story, are occupied by a one/one-sash window. All of the windows on the facade have louvered shutters, while the 1st floor window has segmental surrounds and the 2nd floor windows are topped with jack arches. All of the gables have boxed cornices with returns and a small, louvered window in the center. The house has two brick chimneys: one in the north elevation's wing, the other emerging from closer to the center the roof. A one-story, frame addition is flush with the north elevation.
