132 Abingdon Avenue was built as a speculative house in the Tudor Revival style by A. L. Klewer. Tudor Revival homes are often made of brick or stone and are asymmetrical with steeply pitched roofs, decorative half-timbering, and quaint detailing. According to a 2008 survey, Tudor Revival is the second most prevalent architectural style in Kenilworth. 132 Abingdon Avenue is located in the Kenilworth Beach subdivision. Homes in this subdivision were largely constructed in the 1920s. The first homeowners were Jacques and Jeannette de La Chapelle.
