Built in 1936 at the corner of 35th Avenue and 87th Street, the six-story Jacksonian turns its large recessed entrance court toward 87th Street. Its brick facades, including some rough-faced bricks, carry white trim, a doorway with fluted pilasters, leaded sidelights and a pediment, stone keystones over the windows, and urns and oculus-pierced brick pediments at the roofline. The report compares it to two buildings farther west on the avenue, the Cohn firm's Georgian Gardens and Seelig & Finkelstein's Senate Gardens. It shares its 35th Avenue frontage with the Madison Apartments, which Cohn Brothers designed a year later.
“Built in 1936 to designs by the Cohn Brothers, the six-story-and-basement Jacksonian Apartments is among the later apartment buildings erected in the historic district.”
