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, 848 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.

848 Manida Street shares a foliate bracketed cornice and gabled parapet with No. 850
Daube & Kreymborg's 848 Manida Street has an entry lintel on scrolled brackets and a rounded southern bay, and shares with No. 850 a foliate bracketed cornice and a steep side-gabled parapet. It keeps its historic metal-and-glass double door and iron stoop railings. A decorative balustrade has been removed, the brick and stonework are painted, the windows are replacements, and security grilles cover the first-floor windows.
