Landmark Trivia

  • Number 599 Summit Avenue is the westernmost, but one, of a row of eight locally-distinguished Victorian residences built in 1889. Known as Summit Terrace, the row is structurally one building, although the facade is composed of a variety of elements projecting bays, conical turrets, and eaves galleries executed in rough-faced brownstone.
