948 Longwood

There are a pair of clumps of pseudo-period row houses on Longwood Avenue that were constructed around 1993. Unlike some of the buildings from the 1980s, these have brick exteriors and appear to be fairly solid in construction. The only unfortunate marrings are the inferior replica cornices that lack the detailing of the original styles and that are not meaningfully integrated with the building structure.
