   A 1916 permit covers this building, one of fourteen Greystone apartment houses by George H. Wells

   This five-story building went up under new-building permit 3592-1916, filed in 1916 together with 35-47 and 35-55 80th Street. The architect was George H. Wells and the developer the Jackson Heights Apartment Corporation. The fourteen buildings, seven facing seven across 80th Street between 35th and 37th Avenues, were finished in 1918.

2. 1918

   The Greystone row shares one continuous garden hidden behind its facades

   Each T-shaped Greystone building covers only about 38 percent of its lot, which measures roughly 63 by 100 feet. Their rear courtyards open onto the unbuilt back portions of the lots, which were treated as a single undivided garden behind the whole blockfront. That garden cannot be seen from the sidewalk; it is entered through passages at the two ends of the row.

   “The interior gardens are not visible from the sidewalk; rather, they are entered from passages at the ends of the blockfronts.”
