This weekend’s NYT article generated lots of interesting and welcome inbound emails with tips of topics to cover. One of these was a suggestion to write about the courtyards behind some of the prewar apartment buildings in Jackson Heights. This struck us as a great idea, but one that could be best accomplished with the help of readers who live in or around these building. So consider this our first official appeal for photo submissions. You can email us at queens@brownstoner.com. Similarly, please use the comments section below to let us know about which buildings have the nicest courtyards and gardens. We know about Greystones and The Towers (pictured above). What are some others? Thanks!

  1. PS because the Greystones split a street instead of take up a city block, there is no one shared Greystones garden like there is a Hawthorne, Hampton, Towers or Chateau garden. Each side of the Greystones has garden space behind, but it backs up on another building that is not allowed garden access. So you don’t quite get the same courtyard feel. Still nice to stroll back there, though.
