The house belongs to the row's central cluster of four, set as mirrored pairs
Tappan arranged the twenty houses in an A-B-A pattern, and this house sits in the short central B group. Its four houses form two pairs, each pair sharing a projecting gabled front that holds both entrances. The entrances are placed in mirror image, which keeps the whole blockfront symmetrical.
