No. 37-36 closes its six-house cluster as a gabled-porch 'a' house
The last of six houses filed in 1926 under permit NB 10917, No. 37-36 bookends the cluster that starts at No. 37-26. Both end units are 'a' houses with pitched-roof porches, framing hooded and Palladian-windowed houses in between. Front gardens line the street, each house has a garage at the rear of its basement, and driveways at the ends of the blockfront run into the middle of the block.
