Queens architect Charles Stidolph designed this three-story brick house, filed as New Building 20026 in 1926 and built in 1926-27 for the developer C. McShane. It was one of twelve houses in three alternating models, mixing neo-Georgian brick and end chimneys with red Mediterranean roof tiles. This one has a steeply pitched front-facing gable, an entrance porch set at the side of the house, and a sun porch under a pent roof, the same model as No. 35-45. A matching brick garage with a tile roof stands behind it.
“…located on the east side of 86th Street between 35th and 37th Avenues, survive from a group of twelve houses built in 1927 to designs by Queens architect Charles Stidolph…”

The commission noted that these six were the only detached single-family houses in the whole district, though they resembled its many attached and semi-detached 1920s groups. The report also noted that a second entrance porch had been added to the front of this house to serve a professional office.
“Although the only examples of detached single-family houses within the historic district, they are similar to the many groups of attached and semi-detached houses…”
