1925
35-27 87th Street rises in a mirror-image cluster of five McAvoy garden homes
Built in 1925 under permit NB 101-1925, No. 35-27 belongs to the five-house cluster running from No. 35-25 to No. 35-35. C.F. McAvoy organized each cluster in mirror image, with entrances and roof profiles alternating so that the group looks like one larger building. The report calls the row almost identical to the firm's 1924 houses on the next block south on 87th Street.
