    Brentwood Hall, a plain red-brick apartment house by Sohn & Weston, is completed after the war

    Brentwood Hall was designed by Sohn & Weston and built in 1950-51, one of several apartment houses built in Jackson Heights after World War II. Two recessed lightcourts divide the six-story front into three sections, with the entrance in the narrower middle one. Its bare red brick walls and windows that wrap around the inside corners of the end sections are typical of the period, and the doors sit in a frame of textured tile.
