THE BERKELEY APARTMENTS

35–25 77th Street
Joshua Tabatchnik
1936

The Berkeley Apartments is an example of the later development that occurred in Jackson Heights. The single large building has two light courts that break up the massive structure. The Neo-Georgian building imposes on half of the block and features brickwork resembling quoins, brick bandcourses, pilasters capped with stone and brick pediments, and brick parapets topped with stone urns. Joshua Tabatchnik also designed Berkeley Gardens, which are similar and located around the corner on 35th Avenue.
