Cambridge Court, 1923. Completed in 1922 to the plans of architect George H. Wells, Cambridge Court is a massive through-block apartment complex. Like many of the apartments constructed in Jackson Heights at the time, this one has a common landscaped garden in the middle of the rows of buildings. Wells worked for the Queensboro Corporation on the development of Jackson Heights, creating at least five such garden apartment complexes. Cambridge Court was the last of his apartment designs for the neighborhood.

Located on 85th and 86th Streets, between Roosevelt and 37th Avenues. Unfortunately Cambridge Court failed as a cooperative during the Depression, and its beautiful garden has been, for the most part, destroyed by fences and use as a parking lot in some instances.
