    Linden Court becomes the first Jackson Heights complex with parking garages

    Linden Court, begun in 1919, was the first complex in Jackson Heights with parking. The open passages between its paired buildings double as driveways leading back to one-story garages set in the lightcourt behind each building, a novelty at the time. This pair of units, 37-55 and 37-59 84th Street, is one of the five structures on the 84th Street side.

    “Linden Court was the first complex in Jackson Heights to have parking facilities; the passageways between the buildings serve as driveways…”
