    Verona Court is built with a row of shops along 37th Avenue

    Verona Court's 37th Avenue front was designed with stores at street level, wrapping one bay around each corner onto 79th and 80th streets. Most shopfronts have been replaced, but bits of the 1929 design survive: brick courses under the signs, banded brickwork, and brick bulkheads with metal gratings at No. 79-01 and the eastern half of Nos. 79-09-79-11.

    “…brick bulkheads containing metal gratings below the show windows of the westernmost store at No. 79-01…”
