Laburnum Court is one of three Wells complexes begun in a single 1921 building campaign
After Linden Court, the Queensboro Corporation started a major project every year. In 1921 it began three at once, all by George H. Wells: Elm Court, Hawthorne Court and Laburnum Court. The Landmarks Preservation Commission links these yearly campaigns to state laws passed in 1920 and 1923 that excused newly built housing from property taxes for ten years.
