    Laburnum Court's back-to-back rows share one wide garden hidden from the street

    Laburnum Court's two rows of four buildings, one on 79th Street and one on 80th, back onto a single common garden that takes up most of the site. From the sidewalk it can be glimpsed only through passages at each end of the street fronts. No. 37-32, on the 80th Street side, is one of the eight buildings Wells completed for the Jackson Heights Corp. in 1921-22.

    “The interior garden, occupying the greater part of the site, is partially visible through the passageways at each end of the streetfronts.”
