McAvoy finishes the 87th Street row with an end house whose side wall shows to the street
No. 37-57 is the last of the twenty neo-Georgian houses that C.F. McAvoy designed for the Queensboro Corporation in 1924, closing the five-house cluster filed as NB 329-1924. The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that the end houses of each cluster expose their side walls to passers-by, with jutting chimneys and broad shed dormers. Across the row, the houses mixed red tile and slate roofs, front gables and shed dormers, wood shutters and varied entrance treatments.
“The side facades of the end houses are visible from the street and have projecting chimneys and large shed dormers.”
