1911
Charles Peck's 1911 rowhouse at No. 37-53 backs onto its twin row on 83rd Street
This building started as one of ten two-story houses built in 1911 by the Charles E. Currier Co. to Charles Peck's design. It stands back-to-back with Peck's row of the same date on 83rd Street, which kept its original form, while the 82nd Street houses were remade for business between the 1930s and the 1950s.

A 1947 rebuilding gives No. 37-53 a neo-Georgian brick front
Under alteration permit Alt 3286-1947 the old rowhouse was converted to a two-story commercial building with a new facade at the lot line. Its brick upper front borrows from the neo-Georgian style, with decorative brickwork, keystones over the windows and a pent roof; the first-floor storefront was replaced later.
