Tappan's neo-Georgian houses on 85th Street are laid out in mirror-image groups
Robert Tappan's 1927 houses on this block are faced in red brick with white trim in a neo-Georgian manner, with slate roofs, dormers, brick quoins and tall chimneys. Each four-house cluster mirrors itself in an a-b-b-a pattern, and the four clusters on each street mirror one another in turn, so the whole blockfront reads as one design. The paired garages behind the houses share their slate roofs and style.
