35-25 87th Street opens a five-house cluster in the McAvoy row of 1925
No. 35-25 is the end house at one side of a cluster of five, Nos. 35-25 through 35-35, filed under permit NB 101-1925 and designed by C.F. McAvoy for the Queensboro Corporation. It has a greenhouse identical to the one on No. 35-21, the end of the neighboring cluster, which the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged likely to be historic. Both clusters belong to an eighteen-house group arranged in a symmetrical A-B-B-A pattern.

Robert Tappan's 88th Street row and the McAvoy houses share one driveway behind 35-25
The McAvoy houses on 87th Street were built back-to-back with Robert Tappan's row on the west side of 88th Street, put up in 1925-26, and the two groups share a planned block interior. Behind the houses stand paired garages, one for each house, built in the same materials and style as the homes. One shared driveway runs between the two rows, giving residents on both streets access to their garages.
