  1. 1926

    Six houses from 37-14 to 37-24 79th Street go up as one mirror-image cluster

    This house belongs to a cluster of six filed in 1926 under permit NB 9211-1926 and laid out in an "a-b-c-c-b-a" pattern. Entrances placed as mirror images, roof profiles that alternate and matching window arrangements make each cluster read as one larger building, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The "a" and "c" houses got pitched-roof porches, while the "b" houses got umbrella hoods over theirs.
