313 Clinton Avenue is a four unit condominium housed in an 1882 Neo Grec mansion on Clinton Hill’s Mansion Row. Designed by George Morse for industrial millionaire A. G. Jennings, the five story building is known as the “Wedding Cake House” for its white façade, dormer windows, mansard roof, and elaborate architectural flourishes; it was converted to condominium use in 2002.
The house is set back from Clinton Avenue behind an expansive front lawn, with a private garden and stone paved outdoor areas. Its historic interior fabric includes parquet floors, detailed woodwork, wainscoting, balustrades, pocket doors, bay windows, and a carved wood burning fireplace. Parlor level ceilings reach 14.5 feet, while the kitchen areas retain original slate fireplace details alongside updated appliances and central air conditioning.
The building’s most distinctive layout is a parlor and garden duplex, with formal living spaces on the upper level and bedrooms, a study, and bathrooms below. The residence also connects directly to a private deck and landscaped garden and includes basement storage. Clinton Hill’s restaurants, cafes, shops, cultural institutions, and playgrounds are close by, while Fort Greene Park is less than a ten minute walk away.
