Selective Homes Inc. put up this two-story brick row house in 1931 under new-building permit NB 2167-31, with the firm of Monda & Bertolazzi as architects. It was one of 46 houses the developer raised on 222nd Street, lining the block from 115th Road to 116th Avenue on both sides, as parkways opened up this corner of Queens after World War I. Garages were reached from shared driveways at the back, leaving a wide, unbroken lawn in front.

115-75 222nd Street shares a five-sided vestibule with No. 115-73 and a chimney with No. 115-77
The house is paired with No. 115-73 under one five-sided entrance vestibule with a triangular-arched opening and a half-timbered gable, a design used for four pairs on the street. Its chimney, shared with No. 115-77, carries a diamond-shaped brick medallion set among patterned brick and textured stucco panels. The wood front door and the diamond-paned leaded-glass window downstairs survive, while the upstairs wood sashes and the round brick front step have been replaced.
