No. 37-46 is one of ten two-story-and-basement brick rowhouses that the Charles E. Currier Co. built in 1911 to Charles Peck's design, under a single permit, NB 1017-1911; eight remain. An identical Peck row was built back to back with it on 82nd Street and later converted to commercial use. No. 37-46 keeps its historic double-leaf wood-and-glass front doors.

Charles E. Currier builds the row among the district's first speculative houses
The Queensboro Corporation first planned a neighborhood of concrete cottages built by a method Thomas A. Edison proposed, then dropped the idea and sold its land in parcels of 100 by 100 feet. The first speculative buildings in today's historic district were Charles Peck's 1911 rowhouses on 82nd and 83rd streets, including No. 37-46, put up by Charles E. Currier, who headed the Jackson Heights Building Company. The 82nd Street houses were later demolished or turned to commercial use; the 83rd Street row survives.
