No. 34-48 and No. 34-52 make up one of five double houses on the west side of 86th Street between 34th and 35th Avenues, built in 1927 for the Jackson Heights Apartment Corporation to designs by the firm Rogers & Haneman. Modeled on picturesque English country cottages, they have tapestry brick walls, steep slate roofs with dormers and chimneys, entrance porches with flared sides, arched openings and sloping brick garden walls. Paired garages sit between the houses at the back of the lots.
“The style of the houses is inspired by the picturesque cottages of the English countryside.”
