They show the residential architecture of an earlier era despite being surrounded by towering business and apartment buildings. Their simple Italianate details echo the many brownstone rowhouses of that style.","narrative":"Nos. 311 and 313 East 58th Street are a pair of two-story brick houses on the north side of the street near the Queensboro Bridge in Manhattan. Built around 1857, they belong to a time when horse-drawn street railroads let middle-class New Yorkers buy inexpensive houses in partly built-up areas north of downtown and commute to work. No. 313 was built by the mason-builder Hiram G. Disbrow as his own residence; the builder of No. 311 is unknown. Both have simple Italianate details, with bracketed cornices and double-hung windows, and No. 313 adds a full-length wooden porch with a dentilled cornice. No. 311 remains essentially intact, inside and out, while No. 313 has been remodeled inside and is now a restaurant. The houses were listed as rare survivors of modest semi-suburban housing, still standing in a part of Manhattan that has changed constantly and is now dominated by large business and apartment buildings.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"311-unknown; 313-Hiram G.
