Neo-Georgian brickwork and slate roofs give this Tappan house its look
This house is one of sixteen red-brick neo-Georgian houses that Robert Tappan designed for the Queensboro Corporation in 1925. The group shows peaked slate roofs with shed dormers, hip-roofed entrance porches on some houses and round-arched doors on others, brick laid to imitate quoins, tall chimneys and multi-pane windows. The six-house clusters follow a mirrored pattern meant to read as one larger building.
