35-21 87th Street is built as an end house with a greenhouse matching its neighbor at No. 35-25
Completed in 1925 to C.F. McAvoy's design, No. 35-21 closes the four-house cluster that begins at No. 35-15, and its side wall is visible from the street. It and No. 35-25, the end house of the next cluster, carry identical greenhouses that the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged likely to be historic. The clusters are laid out in mirror-image order so that each reads as one larger building.
“The end units at Nos. 35-21 and 35-25 have identical greenhouses that appear to be historic.”

Fifty speakers backed the proposal, among them representatives of Borough President Claire Shulman, Community Board 3 and the Jackson Heights Beautification Group. Five raised worries about upkeep under designation, and one opposed the entire district.
