    Elm Court's original leaded-glass entrances and six-over-one wood windows survive at designation

    One of Elm Court's four 80th Street buildings, put up in 1921-22, this building has a projecting entrance with a short stoop, a hallmark of architect George H. Wells. Its wood-and-glass doors sit beneath elliptical fanlights between sidelights, all in leaded glass. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Jackson Heights Historic District in 1993, its report found every original entrance of the complex still in place, and the first wooden windows, double-hung with six-over-one sash, were still there too.
