Andrew A. Marjey designed this house for the developers Wolosoff Brothers and St. Albans Lawns Inc., and it was finished in 1931 in the Storybook style with Tudor Revival touches. No. 116-37 is one of the row's paired houses, and it and its neighbor No. 116-39 share a brick entrance vestibule topped by a flared hipped roof with corbeled eaves. Each half has a second-story oriel with a peaked gable, a finial, half-timbering and a three-part window, plus a brick chimney flecked with stone. A garage behind the house is shared with No. 116-35.
