    No. 1139 is the middle house of the row of five that Harry T. Howell designed for John Linch, each costing $11,000. The 1982 Landmarks Preservation Commission report on the Morris High School Historic District calls it identical to No. 1135: a two-story curved bay, a pressed-metal cornice and a brownstone stoop with the wrought-iron railings shared by all five houses.
