1 Dickinson St (House), Binghamton, Broome County, NY
1 Dickingson Street was the first of two apartment buildings that were built with the intent of being quality housing for the working class people. It is believed that the Franko-Halianate style of the Dwight block (now demolished) has a great influence upon the design of this structure and its twin (3 Dickinson St.). The building is notes for its large bay windows which span two stories and are placed symmetrically on each side of the main entrance. Both bays of windows are capped with decoratively bracketed gables that are sided with fish scale shingles. At either side of the house there are large chimneys which add to the unusual roofline of this building.
