The house went up in 1927 under a group of new-building permits for Robert Tappan's 32 attached and semi-detached houses between 34th and 35th avenues. Tappan organized them in back-to-back clusters of four, with the four houses in each cluster designed as mirror images so they read as a single larger building. Behind them, paired garages with peaked slate roofs repeat the style of the houses. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the group for the Jackson Heights Historic District, it found the houses largely unaltered, still with nearly all of their original multi-pane wood sash windows.
