This 1925 house, designed by C.F. McAvoy for the Queensboro Corporation under permit NB 99-1925, sits in one of the two four-house clusters that flank a row of eighteen along 87th Street's east side from 35th Avenue to 37th Avenue. Its row backs onto Robert Tappan's houses at 35-14 to 35-56 88th Street, and the two groups share a planned block interior with paired garages, one per house, off a common driveway.
