Finished in 1926-27, this house ends the second of four clusters on the 78th Street blockfront. The developer built 46 houses in all, arranged back to back so that 23 face 78th Street and 23 face 79th Street, each blockfront divided into three six-house clusters and one of five. The landmarks report notes later changes across the group, such as new doors and low walls and fences added along the sidewalk.
