=**History and Analysis **=

1197-1205 Bushwick Avenue were built in conjunction with the rowhouses at 1035-1057 and 1098-1108 Jefferson Avenue. Three stories high and three bays wide, these buildings have unusual wooden cornices, dog-tooth detailing around the windows creating a checkerboard pattern reminiscent of the notch-edge carving common in the Tramp Art movement. These structures were built for $4,000 each in 1890 as a speculative development venture by Stephen J. Burrows who resided at 236 Ainslie Street.
