Frederick Ackerman designs the houses of Sunnyside Gardens, including this Hamilton Court row
According to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, architect Frederick Ackerman drew the individual house designs at Sunnyside Gardens, while landscape architect Marjorie Cautley planned its courtyards and open space. The designers wanted each block's facades to read as a harmonious whole with visual variety. They mixed one-, two- and three-family houses with low apartment buildings inside the courts, hoping owners and renters would form one community.
“Frederick Ackerman created the individual house designs. Landscape architect Marjorie Cautley supplied the plans for the courtyards and open space.”
