No. 35-18 was built in 1926 with No. 35-16 as one of seven McAvoy-designed double houses lining 87th Street's west side from 35th to 37th Avenue. The owners listed were the Queensboro Corporation and James McDougall. The pairs follow a symmetrical A-B-C-A-C-B-A pattern of alternating roof profiles, with steep gables, half-timbering and drip moldings drawn from the neo-Tudor style.

1926
The McAvoys break from long rows with seven double houses facing their 1925 group
The 1926 houses on the west side of 87th Street, including No. 35-18, were the McAvoy brothers' third group in Jackson Heights. Placed across the street from their second group, they consisted of seven double houses rather than long rows, a change the designation report singles out. Each pair was treated as a single design, the designs alternate along the block, and the detailing takes its cue from Tudor architecture.
