    Filed under the same 1926 permit as No. 34-16, No. 34-20 was finished in 1927 for the Jackson Heights Apartment Corporation. Rogers & Haneman alternated hipped and gabled roofs among the ten houses in a mirrored pattern, while varying the window bays so the facades repeat in a different rhythm. Sloping brick garden walls, arched openings and relieving arches complete the cottage look.

    “The style of the houses is inspired by the picturesque cottages of the English countryside.”
