Builder-architect T. Hutchison designed this two-story neo-Colonial garage, built in 1924 for Walter Dickinson, a maker of woolen goods, to serve his house at 103 St. Marks Place. The base of rusticated and smooth concrete block holds a two-car entrance that keeps its original paneled wood doors with six-light windows. The upper story, faced in wood shingles, was the chauffeur's apartment, reached by an outside wood stair on the east side.

1925
Chauffeur Richard P. Donovan lives above the garage with his wife and baby daughter
In 1925 the rooms over Walter Dickinson's garage were home to his chauffeur, Richard P. Donovan, together with Donovan's wife, Helen, and their daughter, then two years old. The building has since been turned into a single-family house, on a tax lot now split off from 103 St. Marks Place.
“In 1925 its occupants were Dickinson's chauffeur, Richard P. Donovan, his wife Helen, and their two year old daughter.”
