Built in 1950 for a developer the Landmarks Preservation Commission could not identify, the six-story Lincoln is one of several apartment houses put up in Jackson Heights after World War II on large end-block sites. It centers on a big landscaped entrance court, with lightcourts cutting away its corners and a rear driveway down to a basement garage. Ornament is spare: brick quoins, header-brick bands, and metal marquees over the two entrances in the courtyard.
