Built in 1926-27 under new-building permit NB 20017-1926, No. 35-49 went up as one of twelve brick single-family homes that Queens architect Charles Stidolph designed for developer C. McShane along the east side of 86th Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls them the only detached single-family houses in the Jackson Heights Historic District. This model has jerkin gables facing the side, a big dormer on the front, and an entry porch standing forward of the sun porch, under red Mediterranean-style roof tiles, with a matching brick garage behind.
“These six detached houses of brick ... survive from a group of twelve houses built in 1927 to designs by Queens architect Charles Stidolph.”
