This house was built in 1926 as one of the six flat-roofed houses in the middle of an eleven-house Washington Court row, set back from the street line.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey found that this house still had its historic wood infill enclosing the entry porch, with historic casement windows, historic six-over-six wood windows behind storms, and a historic door with a wood storm door. The facade had been cleaned, and a low wood picket fence on a wood curb bounded the front yard.
