    No. 116-21 is the partner of No. 116-19 in one of the paired house types Andrew A. Marjey drew for St. Albans Lawns Inc. in 1931. When the street became a historic district, the house still had its wooden front door, its eight leaded first-floor sashes with colored diamond panes, and a stucco jerkinhead gable over a half-timbered second story. A metal security gate has since been added and the upstairs six-over-six sashes replaced, and the two houses share a rear garage.
