    Landmarks report finds the shops on 37th Avenue rebuilt, with a few 1929 transoms left

    From the start the building had shops along 37th Avenue, turning one bay onto 79th and 80th Streets at each corner. By the time the Jackson Heights Historic District was designated in 1993, nearly all of those storefronts had been replaced. The commission still found transoms with anthemion cresting at Nos. 79-24, 79-14 and 79-08-79-10, four shops keeping the recessed door between two show windows, and brick piers between the openings.
