    This house is one of thirty-two that architect Robert Tappan designed in 1927 for the Queensboro Corporation on the 84th Street and 85th Street fronts of the block between 34th and 35th avenues. They stand in eight clusters of four, set back to back with four clusters facing each street. Each house has a front garden and one garage in a paired garage block at the rear, served by a shared driveway.
