The prolific Cohn Brothers designed two brick buildings for developers the Clinton Construction Corp. The complex extends through the block to Vanderbilt Avenue with a shared courtyard in the center. The red brick buildings have some Colonial Revival details like arched windows with keystones, corner quoining, and the building entrance on Clinton Avenue sports pilasters and a canopy with dentil molding. Plans were filed in 1940 and construction wrapped in 1941.

Clinton Hill Neo-Grec With Mantels, Medallions, Pass-Through This 1870s Clinton Hill brownstone hasn't changed hands in decades and it is filled with lovingly cared-for period details like marble mantels, wood floors, pocket doors, and a pass-through. The less than 19-foot-wide dwelling at 309 Vanderbilt Avenue is set up as a single-family and boasts a bit of surprise space with a setback third floor hidden behind the cornice.
