Summit Avenue #3-Crawford Livingston House


Cass Gilbert, 1898-This house is "another of what might be called picturesque symmetry.  Here, the arcaded loggia evokes the Venetian Renaissance while the central dormer above strikes a medieval pose with its steeply pitched roof and Gothic bargeboards.  Now divided into five condominiums, the house was originally owned by Crawford Livingston, Jr., whose buisiness interests included utilities and railroads.
