Cambridge Court closes George H. Wells's run of block-plan garden apartments
37-57 85th Street, filed under its own permit NB 8136-1922, belongs to Cambridge Court, the last of the block-plan garden apartment complexes George H. Wells designed in Jackson Heights. The Commission calls it his most complex layout: seven attached buildings line each side of the block, with the end and middle buildings pushed forward like a long pavilion, while the recessed ones hide their fourth floor behind a steep mansard roof.
