75TH STREET BETWEEN 4TH AVENUE & 5TH AVENUE

ca. 1899–1910

Known colloquially as “Doctor’s Row” for the medical offices at the street level, this street is a magnificent example of the neighborhood’s limestone rowhouse typology. Many blocks in Bay Ridge feature limestone due to its popularity at the turn of the 20th century. The houses on the south side are particularly graceful, with detailed carvings and gas lamps.
