    Wells gives 35-27 76th Street a projecting stone-and-brick entrance portico with an iron railing

    This building rose in 1921-22 under permit NB 7550-1921 as part of George H. Wells's Hawthorne Court. Its entrance is one of Wells's projecting porticoes of brick and stone, crowned by an iron balustrade and reached by a short stoop. Along the row the porticoes switch between flat pilasters and engaged Doric columns, and the railing patterns change as well. The wood-and-glass doors have leaded-glass transoms and sidelights.

    “Hawthorne Court, built in 1921-22 and designed by George H. Wells, is one of the characteristic garden apartment projects in Jackson Heights.”
