34-28 88th Street is filed in 1925 as one of five houses under permit NB 19443
This two-story brick house was filed in 1925 under new-building permit NB 19443, which covered the five houses numbered 34-28 through 34-36 88th Street. The developers, Burnetti & Corrizzi, put up seventeen attached and semi-detached houses on this blockfront in 1925-26, all designed by the architect C.L. Varrone in what the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls the Anglo-American Garden Home style.

The house anchors one end of the row's central cluster under a hipped tile roof
Varrone split the row into three clusters, with a group of five houses in the middle flanked by two groups of six. The middle group follows an a-b-d-b-a plan, and this house is the "a" unit at its 34-28 end; the "a" and "d" houses carry hipped roofs that make each cluster read like one larger pavilion. The red brick fronts mix neo-Georgian details, such as segmental arches and six-over-six wood windows, with Spanish tile roofs.
