Robert Tappan gives this house a hipped roof and its own pedimented porch
No. 34-23 and its neighbor No. 34-27 make up the second of the five double houses Tappan built for the Queensboro Corporation in 1926-27. Unlike the gabled pairs on either side, this "B" pair has a hipped roof with a single central chimney, and each house gets a separate entrance porch topped by a segmental pediment. Though each double house has two front doors and two side garages, its massing suggests a single freestanding home.
“The "B" pairs have hipped roofs with a chimney at the center and separate entrance porches with segmental pediments.”
