1931
Houses like No. 116-48 sell for $6,990 with a private garage included
Brooklyn Eagle advertisements for St. Albans Lawns in 1931 listed houses like No. 116-48 at $6,990, paid monthly on a plan comparable to rent, with a detached garage included. Alvin Wolosoff sold the garage as a saving for former apartment dwellers, since overnight street parking was then banned in the city. The ads also promised a subway station at Springfield and Linden Boulevards that was never built.
“…their modest price of $6,990, payable on a monthly plan similar to the cost of rent…”

No. 116-48 is a single house with a flared-roof corner vestibule, built in 1931 to Andrew A. Marjey's design. It retains the first-story wood window of eight leaded sashes with colored diamond panes, half-timbering over textured stucco upstairs, a slate parapet and a stuccoed chimney shared with No. 116-46. Its front door, steps and upstairs sashes are replacements.
