Jane's Walk NYC 2025: Morrisania: The Heart of the Bronx (3pm)
05/04/2025 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
The South Bronx was once owned by the Morris family, from which Morrisania gets its name. As the family sold off its holdings in the nineteenth century and transport to the Bronx became easier, villages and neighborhoods began to form.
Morrisania is one of those neighborhoods.
Some of the sites we will see on this guided walk include:
-Historic churches
-The oldest standing former synagogue in the Bronx
-Victorian homes
-The first public high school built in the Bronx, designed by the architect who shaped NYC school architecture
-A grand, former armory
-A modern apartment building built on the site of a former Catholic church
-A designated NYC Historic District of turn of the century brownstones.
