Home of
Joseph Stanley-Brown
The second house from the right in the circa 1920 photograph was 113 Newbold Place (today's 82nd Road). It was home to a banker named Joseph Stanley-Brown. Stanley-Brown became one of the community's leaders, heading up the Kew Gardens Civic Association during the 1920's. In 1881, he served as personal secretary to U.S. President James A Garfield, and went on to marry Garfield's daughter, Mollie. Its current owners have been told that the house was designed by the architectural firm of McKim Mead & White, the same firm that designed the old Penn Station in New York.
