Thomas gives the Spanish Gardens front gardens and buildings twice the usual size
At the Spanish Gardens, completed in 1926, Andrew J. Thomas added front gardens, as George H. Wells had at Laburnum Court, alongside the usual garden in the middle of the block. Each side of the block holds three identical buildings, each about double the size of the individual buildings in Queensboro's other garden complexes. Their tile roofs and entrance details nod to Mediterranean sources, echoing Thomas's earlier Linden Court on the next block to the east.
“Each blockfront of Spanish Gardens is composed of three identical and very large buildings, each roughly twice the size of the individual buildings…”
