Public School 66, also known as the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, and formally known as Brooklyn Hills School, is a historic school building in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. It was designed by noted architect C. B. J. Snyder (1860–1945) and built in 1898. It is a 2 1⁄2-story brick structure in the Romanesque style. It has a prominent, off-center tower with belfry. It features a slate roof and decorative stucco frieze. The school has a fortress-like appearance, including prominent round arches highlighting window openings, and a distinctive six-story tower.[2] The building was restored in 2001 and remains in use as a New York City Public School.[3]
PS 66 is also a relic from the time when Richmond Hill, Queens was a farming community, and was transitioning into an urban residential neighborhood.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
In 2008, Caroline Kennedy pleads to the New York City Council to save the school named after her mother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, by approving the school as a city historic landmark.[5]
