No. 433 was completed in 1892 as part of the long rental row that William O'Gorman designed and built with Hermann Stursberg along East 139th Street. O'Gorman appears to have based the design on eight neo-Grec houses the partners had erected in 1885 on the opposite, south side of the street; one of those earlier houses survives and matches this row in every detail. By 1885 the partners had also built twelve houses on Willis Avenue and appear to have developed the block between East 141st and 142nd streets, all since demolished.
