Herbert L. Abrons bought this lot in 1978 from Lucille Gale Knapp; as far as the record shows, nothing had ever been built on it before. In 1980 he put up a two-story house of wood frame, irregular in plan, to designs by Harold Sussman of Horace Ginsbern & Associates. Its large side yard sits on a separate lot, and stone walls enclose gardens near the house.
“Herbert L. Abrons bought this lot in 1978 from Lucille Gale Knapp, prior to which time, as far as is known, it had not been built upon.”
