This two-story row house went up in 1931 for developer Selective Homes Inc. under permit NB 2168-31, designed by Monda & Bertolazzi. It is part of the developer's run of 46 Storybook-style houses on 222nd Street, faced mostly in red Flemish-bond brick with burnt-brick headers and stone trim and topped by stuccoed parapet gables and brightly colored tile. Each house was planned with its garage entrance in the rear so the front lawns could run unbroken.

115-76 222nd Street pairs with No. 115-74 under a half-timbered vestibule gable
No. 115-76 and its sister house, No. 115-74, share a five-sided entrance vestibule with a triangular-arched opening and a half-timbered gable, and the house has a narrow half-timbered parapet gable of its own. A downstairs window of leaded glass with clear and colored diamond panes remains, and the stuccoed brick chimney on the left is shared with No. 115-78. The historic wood front door has been replaced, and horizontal cladding now covers this house's half of the entrance gable.
