History and Analysis


This Cozine & Gascoine house is an atypical example of the surrounding speculative housing. Unlike the rest of the Weirfield Street row of two story over basement structures, this is a three-story over basement house distinguished by an angled bay window that runs the full height of the building. Furthermore, a typical C&G house costs under $3,000 to build, however this home had a projected construction cost of $4000. The architects and building firm Cozine & Gascoine were speculative developers responsible for the construction of approximately 1,000 structures in the Bushwick area.
