Hampton Court starts a run of five Wells garden apartment blocks drawn from Georgian sources
Following Andrew J. Thomas's plan at Linden Court, George H. Wells designed the next five garden apartment blocks in Jackson Heights, starting with Hampton Court in 1919-21. Hampton, Hawthorne and Cambridge courts each use two long rows of shallow buildings framing a garden. At Hampton Court the angled bays give rhythm to the 79th Street row, while the buildings on this 78th Street side were given a different facade.
