Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. sets 37-39 78th Street inside a mirror-image cluster of six houses
Completed in 1926-27, 37-39 78th Street belongs to a six-house cluster that Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. laid out in a symmetrical a-b-c-c-b-a sequence. Entrances placed as mirror images, roof profiles that alternate and matched window arrangements make each cluster read as one larger building. Twenty-three houses line this blockfront between 37th Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, backing onto twenty-three more facing 79th Street.
