Adapted from the 2002 House Tour Guide

William P. Willetts of 175 Warner Avenue, Roslyn Heights, purchased the property located at what is now 121 Edwards Street, Roslyn from the Warner Avenue Roslyn Construction Corporation on February 28, 1948 and filed for a building permit on August 2, 1949 to erect a one storey dwelling.

Within three years Mr. Willetts sold the house and property to Ishan and Sumru Gunaltay on October 29, 1951 and on February 4, 1954 it was transferred to Sumru Gunaltay. Mr. Willetts purchased the premises back from Ms. Gunaltay on July 13, 1955 and sold it to Clara Henning on September 21 of the same year. Ms. Henning sold the house and property to Joseph and Dorothy Einhorn on September 1, 1958, who in turn sold it to Herbert and Audry Greene on July 23, 1961. The property remained under Greene ownership until transferred to their only child Barry Greene, on November 27, 1992. Herbert had died years earlier succumbing to a heart attack during a snowstorm when his car could not make the steep incline on Edwards Street.

Craig and Florence Westergard, purchased the home and property from Barry Greene on March 7, 1997. This Neocolonial or "Cape Cod" style house, popular during the post World War II era, was relatively intact and original at the time it was purchased by the current owners. There is some question with regard to the two full bathrooms upstairs being original since they have aluminum baseboard radiators and the remaining heating in the house is recessed cast iron. It is also not known if the windows are original material. The Westergards restored several front windows in the first year and discovered through the winter that the jamb design was thermally very poor. They chose replacements with a 1/1 configuration to better blend with the adjacent garden apartments.
