No. 37-32 mirrors its neighbor at the center of a symmetrical six-house cluster
No. 37-32 was filed in 1926 under permit NB 10917 with Nos. 37-26 through 37-36. In Dreisler's a-b-c-c-b-a scheme it is the second 'c' house, a mirror image of No. 37-30 next door, with a pitched-roof porch and a modified Palladian window. Dreisler placed the cluster's entrances as mirror images of one another, which helps the six houses read as one symmetrical whole.
