1925
No. 35-43 stands at the center of a mirror-image cluster of five McAvoy houses
Built in 1925 under permit NB 98-1925, No. 35-43 is the middle house of the five-house cluster running from No. 35-39 to No. 35-47 in C.F. McAvoy's eighteen-house group. The five-house clusters follow an a-b-c-b-a arrangement, which puts the "c" design at the center, with a prominent gable and a stone doorway surround topped by an entablature. The red brick, white trim, slate roof and shutters follow the neo-Georgian manner of the whole row.

No. 35-43 shares a block interior and driveway with Robert Tappan's houses on 88th Street
The McAvoys' 1925 row on the east side of 87th Street, including No. 35-43, sits back to back with Robert Tappan's 1925-26 row on the west side of 88th Street. Paired garages, one for each house, stand in the middle of the block in the same materials as the homes, and a single common driveway serves both the McAvoy houses and the Tappan houses.
