    T. & T. Construction Corp. built the six-story Jacksonian Apartments at 37-20 to 37-22 81st Street in 1927-28 to plans by Seelig & Finkelstein. Its corner towers are faced in a web of raised terra cotta and brick in diamond and shell shapes, recalling Spanish mudejar work. At the entrance pavilion, brick piers carry carved stone colonnettes crowned by lions, beneath a blind brick arcade.
