The complex — 109 low-rise brick buildings sprinkled across 37 leafy acres in Kew Gardens Hills — was built in 1947 as rental housing for workers at the United Nations. The units were designed by Leonard B. Schultze (of the firm of Schultze & Weaver) in the Colonial Revival style. The landscaping was designed by Clarence Combs. The location was convenient to the UN's temporary headquarters, the present Queens Museum building erected for the 1939 New York World's Fair

  • I've lived there from 1959 to 1965, a wonderful childhood. UNIS had then a branch right there that I attended. If you read me, Hi Sandy, Hi Taku, Hi Larry and hi to all!
