1916-17, Ernest Flagg
New York City Individual Landmark 

Flagg envisioned his estate populated by many small stone houses, evoking the ancient Anglo-French or Norman villages of England and France. Bowcott was the first of the experimental stone cottages he constructed, receiving its name for the way it bends with the road. Viewed from the principal façade, the house appears to nestle into the terrain, while the rear elevation creates a clear public-private boundary. This is representative of Flagg's idea of buildings that belong to the site, with structure and topography aligned. Bowcott was the first domestic architecture project where Flagg used mosaic rubble. Instead of worked stone, he used quoins made of concrete-blocks with vertical reinforcing rods filled with concrete. The stone was sourced from a quarry he had established on the grounds. It has been observed that this technique pre-dates the general usage of concrete block by some twenty years. The main floor was used as the living and dining rooms, while the attic had several bedrooms and a sitting room. Additional bedroom space was provided by a large one- story room at the west corner. The basement was possibly used as a kitchen. Dormers, chimneys and gables were used to provide a picturesque effect, a detail Flagg used often. It was designated as a NYC Landmark in 1987.
