Jackson Heights, Queens | Daniel Karatzas, Jackson Heights Beautification Group
Jackson Heights is New York City’s first planned neighborhood of “garden apartments” and “garden homes”. These airy, light-filled residences, combined with commercial and institutional buildings, provided an attractive environment for middle-class families to live in when it was developed in the early 20th century, and it still does today. Hidden from public view, many of the original interior courtyards remain treasured gardens ordinarily accessible only to residents. Daniel Karatzas, author of Jackson Heights: A Garden in the City, will present the development history and JHBG’s campaign to extend the historic district.
