Linden Court is completed with Spanish-tile loggias and the first garages of any Jackson Heights complex
Andrew J. Thomas's Linden Court (1919-21) pairs its buildings along each blockfront, leaving open passages that double as driveways to one-story garages behind each building, the first parking in a Jackson Heights complex. The style draws on Spanish Romanesque and Renaissance sources: round-arched doorways with heavy double wooden doors, terra-cotta keystones with shields, wrought-iron balconettes, and enclosed top-floor loggias under red tile roofs. Enlarged corner windows form sun porches.
“Linden Court was the first complex in Jackson Heights to have parking facilities; the passageways between the buildings serve as driveways…”
