Built in 1931, No. 116-42 is a single house with a corner vestibule under a flared roof, the type used for eight houses on each side of 227th Street. It retained its ground-floor wood window of eight leaded-glass sashes with colored diamond panes, its textured stucco upper story with random bricks, its slate parapet and a stucco chimney shared with No. 116-44. Later alterations added a cellar entrance with an awning, a security camera and new front steps, and replaced the vestibule's slate roof.
