1948-49, Leo Stillman

This group of twelve 8-story apartment buildings that occupy almost two blocks north of Queens Blvd, were designed by Russian-born architect Leo Stillman and built by the Nipark Realty Corporation. They are an early example of the post World War II International style in Queens.

Stillman immigrated with his family to the US in 1906, and attended City College and the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in the early-1920s. He was renowned for his Art Deco designs in the 1930s, and later for his innovations in the use of poured concrete in the construction of apartment buildings. Examples of his work can also be found in the Grand Concourse Historic District.

With exposed concrete walls and midblock courtyards, the Walden Terrace Complex stands out among the red brick surrounding structures, while maintaining a certain continuity of the built landscape. Noted residents include actor and saxophone player Sid Caesar, and actor Hank Azaria.
