Built in 1926 under permit NB 437-1926, this house and No. 35-18 form one of seven double houses designed by C.F. and D.E. McAvoy, with the Queensboro Corporation and James McDougall listed as owners. The group is neo-Tudor, with steep shingled gables, half-timbering, drip moldings over the doors and bracketed flower boxes. Brick, slate-roofed garages sit behind the houses, reached by a narrow driveway from 87th Street.

1926
The McAvoys break from long rows with seven double houses on this blockfront
The McAvoys' third Jackson Heights group, built in 1926 across 87th Street from their second, marked a shift away from long rows of attached houses. Each of its seven double houses was designed as one unit, the facade designs alternate along the block, and the detailing draws on Tudor sources, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
