   The six-story Elbertson Apartments went up in 1936-37 for the developer S. Cohen on the block end of 35th Avenue between 79th and 80th Streets, to designs by the Cohn Brothers. A full-height three-sided bay holding the main entrance projects from a shallow recess on the avenue, and a deep light court faces 80th Street. The report likens its Neo-Georgian design to other Cohn Brothers buildings along 35th Avenue: the Georgian Gardens, the Madison and the Jacksonian. The original six-over-six wood windows remain.

   “Built in 1936-37 to designs by the Cohn Bromers, the six-story-and-basement Elbertson Apartments is among the later apartment buildings erected in the historic district…”
