No. 35-41 was filed under new-building permit NB 98-1925 together with Nos. 35-39, 35-43, 35-45 and 35-47, one of two five-house clusters set between four-house clusters in C.F. McAvoy's group of eighteen for the Queensboro Corporation. Each five-house cluster mirrors itself in an a-b-c-b-a pattern, and the "b" houses there get slate-roofed canopies over their doors. The neo-Georgian homes have red brick with white trim, steep slate roofs, shed dormers and wood shutters. The group nearly repeats the McAvoy firm's earlier row of 1924 on the next block south.
