The Homestead

Residents of Kew Gardens will have no trouble recognizing this building on Lefferts Boulevard at the corner of Cuthbert Road. It was built in 1914 - the first multi-dwelling structure to go up here. Done in a style of construction known as "half timber", it is today, unfortunately, half gone. For more pictures of this building, click here and here.

Reference: Barry Lewis, Kew Gardens: Urban Village in the Big City, pp. 18, 50, 54 - 55 (Kew Gardens Council for Recreation and the Arts 1999).
