   Queensboro begins Hawthorne Court in 1921 as state tax breaks encourage new building

   Hawthorne Court, including this building at 35-20 77th Street, was one of the projects the Queensboro Corporation began in 1921 during a run of yearly building campaigns in Jackson Heights. The Landmarks Preservation Commission links that pace to state laws passed in 1920 and 1923 that exempted new construction from real estate taxes for ten years.

   When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described Hawthorne Court in 1993, it counted 35-20 77th Street among just six of the complex's fourteen buildings that still kept many of their original six-over-one double-hung wood sash. Elsewhere in the group the windows had been swapped for new units with muntins applied to the upper sash to suggest the old pattern.
