Robert Tappan designs 34-15 84th Street in a mirror-image cluster of four houses

Built in 1927 for the Queensboro Corporation, this house was filed on one permit with 34-11, 34-17 and 34-21 84th Street, part of Robert Tappan's 32-house block. Tappan laid out each group of four as a mirror image (a-b-b-a) so that it reads as one larger building, then mirrored the four groups on each street the same way (A-B-B-A), so the blockfront holds together as one composition. Gabled slate roofs, dormers and brick quoins give it a neo-Georgian character.
