Wolosoff Brothers show scale models of this row before the houses are finished
By May 1931 Wolosoff Brothers were promoting St. Albans Lawns, the row that includes No. 116-45, with scale models in an administration building on the site and a furnished model home promised for mid-June. Leon Wolosoff pitched the location as inside city limits yet only a mile from the Nassau County line and the start of the Southern State Parkway.

No. 116-45, one of Andrew A. Marjey's paired Storybook houses, still has its wood entrance door and its first-story wood window of eight leaded sashes with colored diamond panes. Its second story mixes half-timbering with basketweave and herringbone brick under a slate parapet, and it shares a stuccoed chimney with No. 116-47.
