In October 1908 the New-York Tribune reported that George F. Johnson had sold the east-side lots of Manida Street to the Manida Company, another firm headed by James F. Meehan, to be built up to match the west side. The permit for the 24 semi-detached houses on the east side, including No. 852, was filed on November 24, 1908, with Daube & Kreymborg as architects. The row was finished on June 15, 1909.

No. 852 rises as a mirror-image pair with No. 856 under a shared bracketed cornice
No. 852 and its neighbor No. 856 share a party wall, a foliate bracketed cornice across both fronts, and a hipped parapet with conical roofs over their rounded bays. The door has a molded surround whose lintel rests on two scrolled brackets. Later changes include painted brick and stonework, replaced windows, and the loss of the finial on the conical roof.
