  1. 1931

    No. 116-20 rises with patterned brick and half-timbering beneath a jerkinhead gable

    Paired with No. 116-22 behind one peaked brick vestibule, No. 116-20 was among the 1931 houses Andrew A. Marjey designed for Wolosoff Brothers. Its upper story mixes half-timbering with basketweave and herringbone brick, and its first-floor transom sashes still hold leaded glass in colored diamonds. The stucco chimney at the right of the front is shared with No. 116-18, while the slate vestibule roof was redone and the bottom four window sashes were swapped out.
