History and Analysis
1064-1066 Jefferson Avenue are two two-and-a-half-story rowhouses with stoops on the right side of their front facades, located between Bushwick Avenue and Broadway. Both are covered in vinyl siding with covered cornices. Because of the similarity of the row and the typical development patterns of the area between 1886 and 1898, one can assume that these structures were probably built concurrently as a speculative development venture.

According to the United States Census of 1900, there were multiple families living in each building. Many residents were born in New York with parents also born in the United States, while some residents were immigrants from Ireland. There were multiple railroad conductors living in the rowhouses, along with a clerk, engraver, and a teacher. Most residents rented, and none had servants.
