    Landmarks report notes new doors and sidewalk walls at the houses including 37-51 78th Street

    When the Jackson Heights Historic District was designated, the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the group of forty-six houses that includes 37-51 78th Street as typical of the attached and semi-detached clusters built across Jackson Heights in the late 1920s. Its noted alterations were replacement doors and the low walls and fences added along the sidewalk. The houses keep their front gardens, and the side walls of the end houses can be seen from the street.

    “Alterations include replacement doors, additions of low walls and fences at the sidewalk.”
