Robert Tappan designed this house in 1927 for the Queensboro Corporation, one of 32 attached and semi-detached houses on the 84th and 85th street blockfronts between 34th and 35th avenues. It was filed under one building permit (NB 2937-1927) with Nos. 34-15, 34-17 and 34-21. The houses stand in eight back-to-back clusters of four; every house has a front garden and its own garage at the rear, reached by a shared driveway.

1927
Robert Tappan gives the 84th Street houses red brick walls and white neo-Georgian trim
The houses on this blockfront, 34-11 among them, are neo-Georgian: red brick with white trim, peaked and gabled slate roofs with single or paired dormers, brick quoins and prominent chimneys, with fanlit round-arched doors on some models and white classical porches or pediments on others. The landmarks commission found them remarkably intact, keeping almost all their original wood sash windows and many paneled doors, and the garages out back repeat the slate roofs.
