To keep cars off the front lawns, Selective Homes Inc. recorded easements in June 1931 for L-shaped shared driveways behind the houses. One of the outlets opened onto 222nd Street beside this house and 115-104. The driveways were later rerouted to exit on 116th Avenue, and the old openings beside these houses were built over.
“…easements... in June of 1931 for L-shaped driveways with outlets on 115th Road and on 222nd Street next to Nos. 115-103 and 115-104.”
