Far Rockaway Beach Bungalow Historic District
Far Rockaway Beach Bungalow Historic District, 1920s beach bungalow district in Far Rockaway, Queens, US.
The district contains 93 compact beach houses with uniform facades, integrated porches, and exposed rafters along Beach 24th, 25th, and 26th Streets.
Developer John J. Eagan commissioned architect Henry Hohauser to design and construct these summer beach bungalows in 1921 using pattern book designs.
The neighborhood started as a Russian and German Jewish immigrant community called Wavecrest, with seasonal residences for working-class New Yorkers.
Many bungalows feature original elements including wood floors, window surrounds, moldings, and decorative brick patterns on their front porches.
The district represents the largest remaining cluster of beach bungalows from over 7,000 that once existed across the Rockaway Peninsula.
