While not a household name like many of his contemporaries, Samuel C. Falkinburg (1841-1905) was a respected architect of multifamily units, commercial blocks, and middle-class urban dwellings at the turn of the century.

His style placed a high emphasis on stately faΓ§ades, symmetrical window groupings, sturdy massing, colonial and revival influences, and quality workmanship that would withstand the test of time, leading to long-term occupancy across generations.

For proof of this, see Falkinburg’s commission for developer W. E. Roney, the Colonial Apartments (located at 1005 Parker Street in the West Village Historic District) – a neighborhood where brick multi-unit structures and stately homes coexist in perfect harmony.
