The City Housing Corporation starts Hamilton Court, its second unit at Sunnyside
After its first block, Colonial Court, sold quickly, the City Housing Corporation began Hamilton Court, the second unit of Sunnyside Gardens, in the spring of 1925. The court's one-family and three-family houses held 225 families, were finished by the end of that summer and sold well. By May 1, 1926, the company had built homes for about 600 families, and it considered Sunnyside complete in the fall of 1928.
