"In the Prospect Park South Historic District, this house at 155 Stratford Road is one of multiple on the block constructed by builder George T. Moore between 1905 and 1906. It appears from filings that Moore worked with architect George E. Showers. According to land transfers recorded in 1905, owner Dean Alvord transferred eight lots on the block, including this one, to Lizzie Moore, wife of George Moore."
"By the fall of 1906 this Colonial Revival style house, which the designation report calls "unpretentious," was completed and sold to the first owners. Colonial Revival details include the columned front porch and a front door with sidelights and pilasters."
"There is a wood-burning fireplace in the parlor with a period-appropriate Colonial Revival style mantel. Built-ins with arched trim flank a windowed niche. White moldings ornament the walls."
