No. 1114 closes the group of five rowhouses at Nos. 1106-1114 designed by John H. Lavelle in 1902 for Catherine A. Lavelle. Like the other houses of its two mirror-image pairs, it has a curved bay with rusticated brick piers, a limestone shelf lintel over the door filled with classical ornament, and a pressed-metal cornice with corner brackets. A fire escape was added to the house later.

No. 1114 changes owners five times in two years amid speculation in Jackson Avenue rowhouses
