The G.K. Construction Co. put up this one-story commercial building in 1924 to plans by architect M.A. Cantor, an example of the early commercial buildings on 37th Avenue in what is now the Jackson Heights Historic District. Its pent roof of Spanish tile echoed a feature of many Jackson Heights homes, including the Spanish Gardens apartments built at about the same time just to the south. The 1993 designation report found the original tile roof still showing on most of the 83rd Street side, though every storefront had been replaced.
