That is another example of scores of blocks in Queens that are ignored by the Manhattan-centric preservation community - and should be landmarked.
Of course while all 'official' channels in the preservation community ignore the misinformation pumped out by the media and politicians in Queens, it will never happen.
Lets keep the attention (and resources) in Manhattan where it traditionally 'belongs.'

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
