Architect Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. designs 37-45 78th Street among his Jackson Heights house clusters
The Landmarks Preservation Commission names Benjamin Dreisler, Jr. as one of three architects, with Pierce L. Kiesewetter and James D. Junge, who designed rows of houses in the district at the end of the 1920s. In 1926 Dreisler drew the clusters on the 78th and 79th Street blockfronts between 37th and Roosevelt avenues, including 37-45 78th Street. The commission notes his Georgian-derived details set against Spanish-tiled mansard roofs, with the houses framing a berm in the block's interior.
