No. 419 was built in 1892, the year William O'Gorman and Hermann Stursberg completed their row of fifty-one single-family rental houses on the north side of East 139th Street. They had filed the plans in 1888, after a new rapid transit line opened just west of Willis Avenue, at a time when much land to the east was still undeveloped.

No. 419 shows the row's double doors with carved fan ornament
The landmark report singles out No. 419 as one of the houses on the row where its pair of round-headed paneled wooden doors, carved with a fan of foliage over the lowest panels, can be seen. Like its neighbors, the 16-foot-8-inch-wide house has a Philadelphia brick front, incised stone trim and a cornice of galvanized metal.
