    Wolosoff Brothers' St. Albans Lawns Inc. put up No. 116-19 in 1931 to plans by Andrew A. Marjey, pairing it with No. 116-21 behind a shared peaked brick vestibule with a slender niche. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found it still had its eight-sash leaded window with colored diamond glass on the first floor, plus half-timbering and basketweave and herringbone brick upstairs. Its textured stucco chimney, at the left of the front, is shared with No. 116-17.
