Developers Carrizzo & Brunetti filed permit NB 6825-1928 for 34-32 through 34-40 83rd Street, with a second permit for the five houses at 34-42 to 34-50. James D. Junge designed the ten houses, built in 1928-29 in two clusters of five, each with a front garden and an attached garage. A common driveway behind them, entered at both ends of the blockfront, serves the garages.

James D. Junge dresses the houses in Flemish-bond brick with Spanish tile roofs
Junge drew mainly on the neo-Georgian style, laying the red brick in Flemish bond and arranging each cluster in a symmetrical a-b-c-b-a pattern so five houses read as one. Porches, segmental-headed openings, wooden shutters, iron balconettes and shed dormers fill out the design, with Spanish tiles on roofs and hoods. The ten brick garages behind repeat the style with pedimented tile roofs.

Junge's houses become the last group of attached houses built in the district until 1951
According to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Junge's two clusters on 83rd Street were the final group of their kind put up in the Jackson Heights Historic District for more than two decades. As the Depression set in, building turned back to large apartment houses, and the next row came only in 1951, when T. Atcuri designed five attached red brick houses on 84th Street.
“These were the last such group erected within the district until 1951, when T. Atcuri designed a row of five attached houses on 84th Street…”
