Completed in 1931, No. 116-40 is the partner of No. 116-38 in one of the row's paired houses, with a shared brick vestibule under a flared hipped roof and a half-timbered second-story oriel. Six of the eight leaded-glass sashes in its ground-floor wood window, with their colored diamond panes, survive; the two transom sashes were replaced. It also keeps its wood oriel finial and slate vestibule roof, while the front door and upstairs sashes are newer and parts of the slate parapet have been coated.
