These were the Romanesque revival "Towers" and "Home" buildings,meant as affordable housing for the working class, with adequate light and air for all; and the "Workingman’s Cottages" of Warren Place, a one block mews from Warren Street to Baltic Street between Henry and Hicks Streets, which was two rows of narrow single family houses (11 feet (3.4 m) wide) built around a private courtyard.
