    The Jackson Heights report names James D. Junge, Pierce L. Kiesewetter and Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. as three more architects behind the district's rows of houses at the end of the 1920s. Dreisler came first, in 1926, with the clustered houses on 78th and 79th Streets that include this one. Kiesewetter's Tudor-inspired Plymouth Houses on 83rd and 84th Streets followed in 1928, and Junge's two clusters on 83rd Street in 1929.

    “Three other architects were responsible for rows of houses within the district at the end of the 1920s: Benjamin Dreisler, Jr.”
