The six-story-and-basement Wakefield, spanning 35-35 to 35-45 81st Street, went up in 1937 for developer Booth Realty, one of the later apartment houses in Jackson Heights. M.E. Ungaleider dressed its brick fronts in Neo-Tudor details: stone label lintels, little corner towers with conical roofs, and crenelated parapets. The entrance sits in a deep lightcourt under a stone panel with Gothic motifs.
