Wells follows Linden Court with Hampton Court, the earliest of his five Jackson Heights garden blocks
After Andrew J. Thomas set the pattern for block-plan garden apartments at Linden Court, George H. Wells designed the next five such blocks in Jackson Heights: Hampton Court in 1919-21, then Hawthorne, Elm and Laburnum Courts in 1921-22 and Cambridge Court in 1922. All five use red brick and stone trim drawn from Georgian sources. At Hampton Court the repeating rhythm comes from angled window bays on 79th Street, while the 78th Street row, including 35-25, got a different facade.
