No. 37-51 began in 1911 as one of ten two-story houses that the Charles E. Currier Co. put up on this side of 82nd Street to plans by Charles Peck, under new-building permit NB 1016-1911. The 1993 report groups it with six neighbors from that row, all since rebuilt as shops; the same architect's row on 83rd Street backs onto them.

The 1993 report noted that the street-level storefront had been altered again since.
