34-37 83rd Street belongs to the Plymouth Houses, thirty three-story attached and semi-detached houses built in 1928-29 for the Plymouth Engineering Corporation to designs by Pierce L. Kiesewetter (permit NB 3519-1928). They stand back to back on 83rd and 84th streets, from 34th to 35th Avenue, fifteen on each blockfront in three clusters of five. The center cluster follows a nearly symmetrical f-g-h-g-f arrangement of facade types, and the order of designs differs from one blockfront to the other.

In its 1993 Jackson Heights Historic District report, the Landmarks Preservation Commission listed what had changed on the Plymouth Houses, the group that includes 34-37 83rd Street. Some doors had been replaced, parts of some facades covered in aluminum siding, air conditioners set through the walls, front garden retaining walls rebuilt and clay tile roofs replaced. Many original wood windows and doors still survived.
