History

The original house at No. 915 was constructed in 1887 by Brooke & Cator for owner George L. Botch. In a 9/20/1987 Traceries survey, the original house (and No. 913 next door) were described as a brick stable with two stories.

The current house is three floors with wide panel glass windows on second and third floors, and a roof-top balcony.
