    116-17 goes up in 1931 as a single house with a corner vestibule and stucco upper floor

    No. 116-17 dates from 1931, when St. Albans Lawns Inc. built 50 Storybook row houses on 227th Street to plans by Andrew A. Marjey. It is a single-house type with an entry vestibule tucked into its corner, a flat parapet line, and textured stucco with random bricks on the second story. Its chimney, on the right side, is shared with No. 116-19. The original wood door and the leaded front window have both been replaced.
