    34-13 80th Street rises in the Chateau during Queensboro's 1922 building campaign

    34-13 80th Street is part of the Chateau. The Chateau and Hayes Court, both by Andrew J. Thomas, were the Queensboro Corporation's Thomas projects begun in 1922, part of a run of yearly building campaigns. State laws passed in 1920 and 1923 granting ten-year property tax exemptions to new construction spurred that pace, and a 1922 change to the insurance code let insurers put money into housing.
