The house mixes Georgian brickwork with Mediterranean tile roofs in Varrone's 88th Street row
No. 34-18 is one of six houses on 88th Street filed under permit NB 19444-1925 and completed to C.L. Varrone's designs in 1925-26. The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes the red brick row as largely neo-Georgian, with segmentally arched openings, blind brick arches, six-over-six wood windows and shutters. Its Spanish tile roofs and the bracketed window hoods on some of the houses, though, lean Mediterranean. Each six-house cluster follows a symmetrical a-b-c-c-b-a pattern.
“The red brick houses are largely neo-Georgian in style, yet their Spanish tile roofs and bracketed window hoods ("c" houses) are more Mediterranean in inspiration.”
