1928
Pierce L. Kiesewetter sets the house in a mirror-image cluster of five Plymouth Houses
Kiesewetter's 1928 plan for the Plymouth Houses varied roof profiles, entrance porches and projecting bays from house to house while keeping one overall pattern. The two outer five-house clusters on each blockfront mirror each other, one running a-b-c-d-e and the other e-d-c-b-a, and 34-23 83rd Street belongs to the first cluster, built under permit 3520-1928.
