The Hackett Building, built circa 1885, was the seat of Queens County government from 1898 to 1916.
Its triangular shape, reminiscent of Manhattan's Flatiron, is a neighborhood landmark and should be preserved. Talitha Whidbee who once ran Ten63 Cafe in the building, is leading the effort to get the Hackett Building landmarked before it is destroyed by condo developers. To help save the Hackett Building add your signature to the petitions being collected at local stores Vin Vin (12-09 Jackson Ave) and Art-O-Mat (46-46 Vernon Blvd).
