No. 37-30 is a 'c' house with a pitched-roof porch and a Palladian-style window
Under permit NB 10917, issued in 1926 for Nos. 37-26 to 37-36, Dreisler set this house third in a mirrored a-b-c-c-b-a cluster, paired with its twin at No. 37-32 at the center. The 'c' houses get a pitched-roof porch and a modified version of the Palladian window. The red brick front, laid in Flemish bond, sits behind a front garden, and a garage occupies the rear of the basement.
