Charles O. Kreymborg designs No. 836 during a short-lived partnership with Henry Daube
No. 836 was designed by Daube & Kreymborg, a firm that appears to have existed only in 1908 and 1909. Charles O. Kreymborg, a native New Yorker who grew up in the Bronx, learned architecture outside the schools, through the E.G. Saltman drawing-supplies company and an apprenticeship with Charles Stegmeyer. He later founded the Kreymborg Architectural Company in 1911 and became one of the Bronx's leading designers; little is known about Henry Daube.
“Their partnership was very brief, and it appears that the firm only operated between the years of 1908 and 1909.”

1909
June 15
No. 836 and the rest of the east-side row are completed
Work on No. 836 and the other houses on the east side of Manida Street was finished on June 15, 1909; Meehan's west-side row followed on July 28. That May, a New York Times advertisement for the two-family houses argued they could not be built again for the same price, because land on the block had doubled in value since it was bought.
