Queensboro plans the house with a front garden and its own garage out back
This house is one of four filed in 1927 under permit NB 2939-1927, together with Nos. 34-37, 34-39 and 34-41, in a 32-house development by the Queensboro Corp. Robert Tappan's block plan gave every house a front garden and a garage of its own, built in pairs behind the houses and served by one shared driveway.
“Paired garages (one per house) are located at the rear and reached by a common driveway. All the houses have front gardens.”
