    The J.H. Kleinman Construction Corporation filed plans in 1926 for this two-and-a-half-story house and five others, numbers 37-13 to 37-23, all designed by Benjamin Dreisler Jr. Each cluster of six follows an a-b-c-c-b-a pattern, with mirrored entrances and alternating rooflines, so the group looks like one large building. The red brick is laid in Flemish bond, and the houses have front gardens.
