    Kiesewetter tucks the garages into the rear basements, reached by driveways at the ends of the block

    Pierce L. Kiesewetter's 1928 plan for the Plymouth Houses put each house's garage in its rear basement rather than in a separate structure. Cars reach them by driveways that enter and leave at the two ends of each blockfront. Along the street, the five-house clusters vary their roof profiles, porches and projecting bays, with the end clusters mirroring each other and the center cluster nearly symmetrical.
