Robert Tappan designs his first Jackson Heights houses, a row that includes 34-13 87th Street
The sixteen brick houses lining the east side of 87th Street from 34th to 35th Avenue, this one among them, were the first group Robert Tappan built in Jackson Heights. He grouped them in clusters; the outer six-house clusters have front-facing gables at their ends so that each reads as a single pavilion. Details such as brick quoins, round-arched doorways, dormers and tall chimneys with chimneypots draw on Georgian England.
“Tappan's first group of houses in Jackson Heights is the row on the east side of 87th Street between 34th and 35th avenues, built in 1925…”
