The Terra Cotta Building

The 
      
 Terra Cotta BuildingThis Italianate building, built in 1928, has the most extensive use of unglazed terra cotta decorative work in Jackson Heights. Of special note, are terra-cotta aprons, shields and swags under the top floor windows; red terra-cotta roof pendices, battlements, finials, and urns and along the parapets.  On the ground level are three hexagonal windows with original iron grillwork. The projecting brick work and pair of towers flanking the main entry give this building a stately and elegant presence.
