    Permit NB 125-1925 covered this house and its five neighbors from 34-13 to 34-23 87th Street, designed by Robert Tappan for the Queensboro Corporation. The cluster runs in a mirrored a-b-b-b-b-a pattern: the end houses have projecting gabled fronts while the inner ones, including this one, have hip-roofed entrance porches that alternate in placement. Each house has a front garden and a garage at the rear reached by a shared driveway.
