Italian Charities and Welfare Center of Queens

[doptg id=”52″]

Address: 83-20 Queens Boulevard

Neighborhood: Elmhurst

Architect:  Exerjian, Manoug

Year: 1951

Current Status: Extant

Award:  Honorable Mention

Typology: 

This building is an odd one–it manages to be no style. The building is located on a corner lot and is oriented toward the intersection. The layout features two wings joined at a rounded center section which has a second floor porch complete with ironwork balcony. The building is painted white brick on the first floor with a second floor of stucco. The architect could have been interpreting an Italian Villa in his design, but what was meant is not apparent today.
