1065 Clay Ave., The Bronx


The Clay Avenue Historic District extends for one block between East 165th and 166th Street in The Bronx. Thirty-two residential buildings face each other across the avenue, most of them designed by Warren Dickerson, who was also the dominant architect in the Longwood Historic District. The district is a delightful ensemble, with Romanesque Revival and neo-Renaissance style rowhouses designed as semi-detached pairs.

This image is of 1063-1065 Clay Avenue. Number 1065 was vacant at the time of designation and has deteriorated thereafter. The N.Y.C. Department of Buildings has classified this as an ‘Unsafe Building’ since 1982.
