Architect George H. Wells leaves Cass Gilbert's office and starts his own practice
George Henry Wells, born in Michigan in 1866, had worked for Cass Gilbert from 1900, staying fifteen years and still in Gilbert's office in 1914 when he drew Laurel Court, his first Jackson Heights job. He opened his own firm the following year and spent the next decade designing apartment houses for the Queensboro Corporation, including the Colonial Apartments. The report found no record of independent work by him outside Jackson Heights.
“The following year he formed his own practice, and over the next decade designed apartment houses for the Queensboro Corporation.”
