This is one of my favorite Bronx buildings. It’s 1882 Grand Concourse ( located on the Concourse at East Tremont Avenue). You can only appreciate its trapezoidal beauty if you are traveling south on the on the Champs-Élysées of the Bronx. It’s especially beautiful in the golden morning sunlight, my favorite time to be a Bronx tourist. It was designed by Designed by H. I. Feldman and completed in 1914 as a high-class apartment building with the most expensive rent of the borough at the time as stated in. this NY Times article By the early 80’s the Concourse Flatiron Building had been abandoned. In ‘82 it was rehabilitated and reopened as a residence for people with low or moderate incomes.
