Why should the beautiful die?


Row of Renaissance Apartment Buildings, Shadyside

Berwyn, Delwood, Elmont

At the west end of Holden Street we find this row of Renaissance apartment buildings with corner balconies; their exteriors have not been modified much since they were built, although the railings have been replaced in the first-floor balconies, and the last of those balconies has been filled in. The front doors are accented by segmental pediments (pediments with rounded rather than triangular tops) and columns with “modern Ionic” capitals (Ionic capitals where the curly volutes project from the four corners).

Berwyn
Delwood
Elmont

We presume that the Elmont has its name inscribed below the pediment like the others, but a fabric awning obscures it.
