    When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described Hawthorne Court in 1993, it counted 35-55 76th Street among just six of the complex's fourteen buildings that still kept many of their original six-over-one double-hung wood sash. Elsewhere in the group the windows had been swapped for new units with muntins applied to the upper sash to suggest the old pattern.
