caption_attribution_description: English: The NRHP listed J. Kurtz and Sons Store Building on the southwest corner of Jamaica Avenue and Guy R. Brewer Boulevard in the Jamaica section of Queens, New York City. This shot is an attempt to show some of the Art Deco features, although I'm not sure I can consider those decorations on the upper corners of the building to be Bas-relief. This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 83001775
