They show how cast iron was used as a decorative, relatively inexpensive material for middle-class housing. Cast-iron verandas were never numerous on New York row houses, and the few alterations have not changed their basic character.","narrative":"Three side-by-side Italianate row houses at 326, 328 and 330 East 18th Street in Manhattan date from 1852 and 1853. Each has two stories of brick above a nearly fully exposed brownstone basement, which requires an unusually high stoop to reach the parlor floor. Narrow cast-iron verandas run across the parlor level of each house, and delicate cast-iron canopies shelter the entrances. The lots were leased in 1852 by Cornelia Stuyvesant Ten Broeck, on land that once belonged to Peter Stuyvesant, to five men, several in the building trades, who were required to build substantial brick or stone houses. The row is valued as a rare survival of modest mid-nineteenth century dwellings with elaborate cast-iron detailing, a feature far more common on mansions than on ordinary row houses. No. 326 is the best preserved, No. 328 keeps its cast-iron steps, and all three sit behind deep front yards. Alterations have been few and have not changed their basic character.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Privately owned and occupied as private residences; condition listed as good and altered, on the original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.0509-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82003380.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003380/a875e598a0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82003380/a875e598a0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Americasroof at English Wikipedia","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:326e18.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Americasroof at English Wikipedia</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:326e18.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319632","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/326,_328,_and_330_East_18th_Street","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5651087"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/manhattan/houses-at-326-328-and-330-east-18th-street-82003380/"}
