Description
The Shirley Houses at 73 – 91 East 27th Avenue consist of five houses that were built on this site in 1913. These were built on speculation as rental houses during the pre-war boom by James Shirley for his mother, Isabella, a co-owner of the property at that time. The Shirley family retained ownership until 1962.
The design of the houses is simple vernacular, an early Craftsman style with modest front porches fronting the street. The significance is in their contribution to the collective streetscape.
