This building is still there and looks exactly the same as 30, 40 or 50 years ago. It seems to be cared for very well by who ever owns it. I just passed it a few days ago in our van. My father still lives up the hill on 174th Street. I have walked up this hill countless times in my life and up the long stairs to Davidson as well.

I remember sending this building from the platform at the Mt Eden subway platform and vowing as a child that someday that I too would live in an art deco building!
I am a glad to say dreams do come true!

I lived near by between 176th Street and West Tremont Avenue on Montgomery Avenue- Morris Heights section- and my mother and I would walk to Featherbed Lane and shop; there was a Buster Brown shoes store right before Macombs Rd. I lived in the Bronx from 1963 until 1997. I miss it very much. I truly appreciate the stroll down memory lane. Thank you.

oh my goodness! this building was two buildings down from the right from my grandma's building. My grandfather and great uncle were superintendents so alot of my childhood was spent in the basement - the basement apartment, the mysterious back rooms (the old fall out shelter rooms being used as storage for the tenants).. running with a gang of kids through the back yards (concrete yards!)...GOOD TIMES...
