The Plymouth Engineering Corp. built the 30 Plymouth Houses in 1928-29 to designs by Pierce L. Kiesewetter, on the 83rd and 84th street blockfronts between 34th and 35th avenues. This one was filed on one permit with 34-20 through 34-26 84th Street (NB 3517-1928). Each street's fifteen houses form three clusters of five, with garages in the rear basements reached by driveways at either end of the blockfront.

Pierce L. Kiesewetter gives the Plymouth Houses neo-Tudor half-timbering and tile roofs
The Plymouth Houses are brick, trimmed in cast stone, stucco and wood, and built in the neo-Tudor style with oriels, battlements, label lintels, half-timbering, dormers, gable-end chimneys and clay tile roofs. Kiesewetter varied roof shapes, porches and bays from house to house within each cluster of five. Later changes noted by the landmarks commission include aluminum siding on parts of some facades, through-wall air conditioners and replaced tile roofs.
