Originally called King's Court after its developer David King, the two blocks are made up of three stylistically-distinct sections designed by Stanford White, Bruce Price and Clarence Luce and James Brown Lord. The southern-most Lord Houses are the widest at over 21. Their facades feature fine stonework detail and a handsomely varied color palette with deep brownstone and crimson brick masonry, black ironwork at street-level and green-hued cornices above. Strivers Row's rear carriage alleyways, a townhouse amenity typically found in pre-war sections of cities like London and Washington D.C., are almost wholly unique in Manhattan and additionally distinguish these two historic blocks.
