    No. 116-12 went up in 1931, one of 50 Storybook row houses that the Wolosoff Brothers' St. Albans Lawns Inc. built on 227th Street to Andrew A. Marjey's plans. A single house with a corner vestibule, it keeps the textured stucco of its second story studded with stray bricks, its slate vestibule roof and parapet, and leaded-glass transoms with colored diamonds over its front window. The commission thought its vestibule lamp might be original. Its stucco chimney is shared with No. 116-10, and a rear garage with No. 116-14.
