Tappan arranges the houses in mirror-image clusters of four
Robert Tappan designed this 1927 Queensboro Corp. house as one of a group of four, permit NB 2939-1927, with Nos. 34-33, 34-39 and 34-41. Within each cluster the houses follow a mirror-image a-b-b-a pattern so the four read as one bigger building, and the four clusters on each street repeat the mirroring as A-B-B-A to tie the blockfront together.

When the Jackson Heights Historic District was designated in 1993, the commission's report found this group of houses in unusually original condition. Almost all of the original wood sash windows, six-over-six and eight-over-eight, were still in place, as were many paneled wood and wood-and-glass doors, though storm windows and doors had been added to many of the houses.
