No. 116-39 was put up in 1931 by the developers Wolosoff Brothers and St. Albans Lawns Inc., with Andrew A. Marjey as architect, in a row of 50 Storybook houses whose two sides of the street mirror each other. It forms a pair with No. 116-37, sharing a brick vestibule, and has a gabled, half-timbered oriel on the second story. The house retained its historic wood front door and its first-floor window of eight leaded-glass sashes set with colored diamond panes, along with its wood eave trim and slate vestibule roof.
