Queen Lind Assoc. Inc. put up Stratford Hall in 1941 (NB 81-1941) at 80-01 to 80-19 35th Avenue, a six-story building with a basement designed by the Cohn Brothers. It belongs to the later wave of Jackson Heights apartment houses, filling the end of a block on 35th Avenue with a big recessed entrance court in front and lightcourts along 80th and 81st Streets.
“Built in 1941 to designs by the Cohn Brothers, the six-story-and-basement Stratford Hall is among the later apartment buildings erected in the historic district.”

1941
The Cohn Brothers give Stratford Hall a Tudor-arched portal and corbeled rooftop towers
The Cohn Brothers drew Stratford Hall's brick design from the neo-Romanesque, using ornament sparingly. Its entrance is a Tudor-arched portal set in a three-sided bay that rises the full height of the building, fitted with paneled wood-and-glass doors behind iron grilles. Keyed brick surrounds frame the first-story windows, the parapets are pierced with openings, and corbeled towers poke above the roofline, while low brick walls cross the entrances to the courts.
