This two-family Renaissance Revival house went up in 1908-1909 as one of 24 semi-detached houses numbered 814 to 870 Manida Street, drawn by Daube & Kreymborg for James F. Meehan's Manida Development Company. The landmarks report ties the block to the subway's push into the Bronx and expected industrial growth. No. 814 shares a party wall with No. 816 and has since lost its cornice, original door and wood windows.
“…built between 1908 and 1909 as a part of a consistent row of 24 semi-detached houses (814 to 870 Manida Street) designed by Daube & Kreymborg…”

The city's housing department buys Nos. 814 and 816 Manida Street
In 1984 the New York City Department of Housing Preservation bought this house together with its partner at No. 816. A deed drawn up in 1994 said the property would be rehabilitated and named Banana Kelly as its Community Management Program, and in 2004 the group bought the two semi-detached houses outright.
