William Goadby and Florence Baker House ARCHITECT: Walker & Gillette DATE: 1930-31 STYLE: English ENGLISH MANHATTAN UPPER EAST SIDE This large, modern townhouse is framed in steel. It has a handsome smooth ashlar masonry facade with rusticated English basement. As it stands, it is a remarkably free interpretation of the style in which it was designed, utilizing 19th-century elements in a facade which belongs to the 20th century. It is three stories high and crowned by a roof with dormer windows set behind a parapet. This symmetrical building is set back from the street and has two-story wings, one at each end, extending forward to create a shallowly recessed forecourt at the center. These wings are joined to the house, on the court side by concavely curved walls with square-headed windows in them, further enhancing the gracious porticoed entry.
