Selective Homes Inc. built this house in 1931 under permit NB 2167-31, with Monda & Bertolazzi as architects, as one of its 46 row houses on 222nd Street. The rows were given a stage-set look in the Storybook style, with Tudor Revival touches, flat facades with ornament that seems pasted on, colored tile on parapets and vestibule roofs, and chimneys that differ from house to house. Shared driveways behind the houses led to the garages.

115-77 222nd Street pairs with No. 115-79 under a peaked vestibule and gambrel gables
No. 115-77 and its sister house, No. 115-79, belong to a design used for six pairs on the street: a five-sided peaked vestibule with a round-arched doorway, a triangular entrance gable and broad gambrel-shaped half-timbered parapet gables. The house keeps its historic wood front door and an ornate chimney with a brick medallion, shared with No. 115-75. Its vestibule tile roof, leaded-glass downstairs window and upstairs sashes have been replaced, and an awning now covers the entrance.
