    Resig Construction Corp. built the six-story Verona Court in 1929 to designs by E. Adelsohn, filling the end of the block on 37th Avenue between 79th and 80th streets with shops at street level. Patterned brick does most of the decorating: bands echoing Spanish mudejar work at the base, diaperwork arches at the roof, and pitched-roof entrance pavilions whose arched doors are framed by spiraled columns.
