Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens is located on the north side of Queens Boulevard and is bounded by Union Turnpike, 126th Street and 82nd Avenue. It houses the Office of the Queens Borough President and other City offices and court space. It was designed c. 1940 by William Gehron and Andrew J. Thomas.

This building was built in 1940 to house the Queens Borough President’s office and to consolidate other Queens municipal offices under one roof. At its opening, it also housed a post office and traffic court, an indication of the designer’s intention to have the building serve as a center of civic life.
