Built in 1931 to Andrew A. Marjey's design for St. Albans Lawns Inc., No. 116-44 is one of the paired house types with a shared round-arched brick-and-stucco vestibule. It shares a corbeled chimney with No. 116-42 and still has its wood front door, a second story of textured stucco set with random bricks, and a slate parapet. The original eight-sash window with colored diamond panes and the upstairs six-over-six sashes have been replaced.
