The developers Burnetti & Corrizzi filed this house in 1925 with the four others numbered 34-28 to 34-36 under permit NB 19443, and the full row of seventeen was finished in 1925-26. Each house had a front garden and a garage at the rear reached by a driveway running behind the blockfront. The row backs onto Robert Tappan's 1925 houses on 87th Street, and the two groups surround a landscaped open space inside the block.

1926
34-32 88th Street sits at the center of the row as its only "d" house
Architect C.L. Varrone laid out the row's middle cluster of five houses in an a-b-d-b-a sequence, and this house holds the central "d" spot; the six-house clusters on either side use only a, b and c types. Like the "a" houses, it has a hipped roof, which gives the cluster a pavilion-like look. The brick houses combine Georgian touches such as blind brick arches and wooden shutters with Spanish tile roofs.
