Robert Tappan lays out this house in a mirror-image row of brick neo-Georgian houses
Robert Tappan planned this house in 1927 as part of a 32-house ensemble covering the back-to-back blockfronts of 84th and 85th streets. Within each cluster of four, the designs mirror one another in an a-b-b-a order, and the clusters along each street mirror one another again, so the whole row reads as one composition. Red brick with white trim, slate roofs, dormers and brick quoins give the group its neo-Georgian look.
