    Builder-architect William O'Gorman and his partner Hermann Stursberg completed No. 427 in 1892 as part of a neo-Grec row of fifty-one rental houses on East 139th Street. The landmarks report singles out No. 427 as one of the houses that still has the row's round-headed, paneled double wood entrance doors, carved with fan-shaped leaf ornament. Stursberg's realty company owned the house until the mid-1940s.
