Hampshire House at 35-45 79th Street was put up in 1938-40 by the Jardino Construction Corporation to plans by architect B. Cohn, among the later apartment buildings in the Jackson Heights historic district. The six-story-and-basement building has two recessed lightcourts splitting its front into three parts, each topped by a temple-front motif and pediment. Paired white colonnettes frame its arched entrance, and decorated iron fire escapes fill the courts.
