Phipps Garden Apartments

It was built in 1931 (94 years ago) (1931) by Phipps Houses, a philanthropic organization of the Phipps family to build model tenements for working-class families, along with Henry Wright of Sunnyside Gardens.

Designed by Clarence Stein,[2] The brick buildings feature intricate brick work and curved steel fire escapes.

A second, northern group of buildings was built between the first units and the Sunnyside Yard railroad tracks to the north in the late 1930s.

Originally, there was a children's playground across the street, also designed by Cautley, but Phipps closed it by the 1990s.

In 2007, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Phipps Garden Apartments as part of the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District.
