Welcome to Everett Park

Have you heard of Everett Park? Located a block away from the Queens County Supreme Court, it is a block-long development dating to 1913, designed in a neo-federal style more reminiscent of Washington, D.C.

The 1909 Bromley Atlas shows the old name for 146th Street as Colonial Avenue, perhaps the inspiration for the architecture. How are the buildings doing these days? Have a look at the photos:

Everett1: Owned by Johanne Juste, this unattached home is for sale. I fear it may face demolition. To its left and right, its neighbors were heavily altered by their owners, hiding their original federal facades.

Everett2: owned by Rohinee Bhoge, this corner home is overshadowed by the mammoth courthouse. 88th Avenue has red brick paving for a couple of blocks.

Everett3 and 4: nicely lined up chimneys. Some homes still have their original roof shingles.

Everett 5: Elford Baldeo's home features a brick addition, but otherwise looks nearly unaltered.

Everett6: closer to the 89th Avenue end of the block, Tikalal Muntie's home has an ugly blue tarp covering up the balcony. Ugly! Many of the bricks are missing on this paved street.
