    April 30

    A free-standing Queen Anne house with a three-sided porch is finished on Perry Avenue

    This three-story house is one of nine designed by Bronx architect Charles S. Clark for developer George D. Kingston, finished on April 30, 1912 at an estimated cost of $6,500 apiece. Like Nos. 2973 and 2975 it stands free, with a three-sided porch on slender Ionic columns, set above a fieldstone wall around a small front yard. Each house appears to have had a parlor, dining room and kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms and a bath on each floor above.
