    Built in 1931 by Selective Homes Inc. (permit NB 2169-31) from Monda & Bertolazzi plans, this house pairs with 115-83 under a single five-sided peaked vestibule. Its front door is still wood and hung on an iron strap hinge, and its first-floor window keeps leaded sashes with clear and colored diamond panes. A narrow chimney of brick dotted with stone accents rises on the right side, shared with 115-87. A security gate, an address plaque and an awning have since been added at the entrance, and the round brick front step has been replaced.

    “…historic features of the front facade include its wood main-entrance door with iron strap hinge…”
