Hawthrone Court 35–13 to 35–55 76th Street and 35–14 to 35–56 77th Street Designed by George H. Wells 1922 Hawthorne Court is an extensive complex made up of 14 five-story buildings set back-to-back. The buildings have red brick façades set in Flemish bond with white stone trim and lintels with keystones. The architect George H. Wells incorporated projecting entrances in the design of these apartments, a hallmark of his work. The entries have short stoops and alternate between Doric column details or flat pilasters with wooden doors surrounded by leaded-glass transoms and sidelights. Each entry is topped with an iron ballustrade.

Victor Moore Arcade, ca. 1942. The Victor Moore Arcade was a bus terminal and entrance to the above subway stations above and below. The arcade was long home to retails shops as well. Opened in 1941, the two-story structure was described variously as Art Deco and Modern and was named for the actor, director, and long-time Jackson Heights resident Victor Moore. Five lines of the Triboro Bus Company converged here. The terminal was featured prominently in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock film The Wrong Man. By the turn of the 21st century, the Victor Moore Building had grown gritty and out of date. The MTA demolished the structure in 2003 for a new state-of-the-art building with four elevators, an expanded depot for gas-powered buses, and handicapped-accessible platforms. The new terminal opened in 2006 and allowed for a smoother transfer from the elevated 7 train to the E, F, G and R lines for the 100,000 commuters who use this station every day.
