Built in 1926-27 for the Queensboro Corporation, No. 34-27 completes the first hipped-roof "B" pair in Tappan's five-pair group, which alternates gabled and hipped roofs in an A-B-A-B-A rhythm. It has its own pedimented entrance porch, a side garage, and a brick garden wall. Tappan's commission also covered the facing houses on 87th Street, and the middle of the block was set aside as individual gardens.
“The "B" pairs have hipped roofs with a chimney at the center and separate entrance porches with segmental pediments.”
