No. 116-07's row joins the 'Parkway Homes of St. Albans' sales campaign
Late in August 1931 Wolosoff Brothers agreed with five other builders finishing nearby developments, among them Selective Homes Inc., to advertise jointly as the 'Parkway Homes of St. Albans.' A shared crest marked each development's entrance to catch drivers on Linden Boulevard heading to the Southern State Parkway and Jones Beach, and the campaign's opening Sunday ad in the New York Daily News showed a photograph of the 227th Street houses.

Andrew Marjey designed No. 116-07 in 1931 as one of the row's paired houses, with a shared brick-and-stucco vestibule holding a small niche and round-arched doorways trimmed in stone. It keeps its historic wood door, an eight-sash leaded window with colored diamond panes, and a half-timbered stucco upper story. It shares a chimney with No. 116-05 and a rear garage with No. 116-09.
