In October 1908 the New-York Tribune reported that the Johnson firm had sold 12 east-side lots on Manida Street to the Manida Company, another firm James F. Meehan led as president. A permit for 24 semi-detached two-family houses, 842 Manida Street among them, was filed on November 24, with Meehan hiring the architects Daube & Kreymborg. The east-side row was completed on June 15, 1909, slightly ahead of the west side.

No. 842 Manida Street shares a hipped parapet and a party wall with No. 846, topping its rounded southern bay with a conical roof. The house still has its historic glass-and-metal double-leaf door and iron stoop railing. Its brick has since been painted, its windows replaced, the cornice and the bay's finial removed, and a second entrance with a stoop added on the south side.
