The Queensboro Corporation put up this brick house in 1927 under building permit NB 2936-1927, which covered the four-house cluster at 34-24, 34-26, 34-28 and 34-30 85th Street. Robert Tappan designed all 32 houses on the facing blockfronts of 84th and 85th streets between 34th and 35th avenues, set out as eight back-to-back clusters of four. Each house got a front garden and its own garage in paired garages at the rear, reached by a shared driveway.
