This rather magnificent house is the exclamation point at the end of a row on Rutland Road in Prospect Lefferts Garden. Built in 1910 at the corner of Rutland and Bedford, this house was built in 1910 for William T. Reinking by architect Benjamin Driesler, as one of five houses, the others being a slightly more modest two story set up. This area of Brooklyn was originally part of the independent rural village of Flatbush. Development really took off in the beginning of the 20th Century with the increase in transportation connections from this area of Brooklyn to Manhattan. 118 Rutland Road was landmarked as a part of the Prospect Lefferts Garden Historic District on October 9th, 1979.
