34-34 88th Street is filed as one of five houses under a single 1925 permit
Permit NB 19443, filed in 1925, covered this house and its four neighbors from 34-28 to 34-36 88th Street, the middle cluster of a seventeen-house row. Burnetti & Corrizzi developed the row and C.L. Varrone designed it; the houses were built in 1925-26. Each has two stories, red brick walls and a garage at the back, paired with the next house's garage along a common driveway.

The "b" house at 34-34 88th Street gets a projecting entrance porch and Spanish tile roof
In Varrone's a-b-d-b-a layout for the middle cluster, this is a "b" house, set between the hipped-roof "d" house at the center and the "a" house at the cluster's end. All the houses have projecting entrance porches in varying forms. The design is mostly neo-Georgian, with segmentally arched openings and shutters, but the red Spanish tile roofs give it a Mediterranean note. The side and rear walls repeat the treatment of the fronts.
