No. 34-15 and its mirror-image twin, No. 34-19, form the first of five red-brick double houses that Robert Tappan designed for the Queensboro Corporation in 1926-27. This gabled "A" pair has a chimney at each end and a single hipped-roof porch at its center, with the two front doors set to either side. Each house has a garage attached at its side and a front garden. The group runs through the block, backing onto ten more Tappan houses on 87th Street, with the block's interior divided into private gardens.
