   Center building 34-22 marks the middle of the Chateau's 81st Street row

   Built in 1922 under permit No. 551, 34-22 81st Street is one of the two 'C' buildings at the center of the Chateau's six-building 81st Street front. Andrew J. Thomas drew the pair as mirror images whose slightly projecting sections mark the midpoint of the block, flanked by symmetrical 'B' buildings and taller towered 'A' buildings at either end.

   “…the center buildings ("C") are mirror images with slightly projecting sections which mark the center of the block…”

   Andrew J. Thomas designed the Chateau of 1922 as a cooperative complex for upper-middle-income residents of Jackson Heights. Its twelve buildings, in a French Renaissance style, surround a large common garden, with slate mansard roofs pierced by dormers and diaperwork brick walls. Thomas's Towers followed in 1923 on the block just north.
