Summary
BRONX CONCOURSE VILLAGE Yankee Stadium
This tour will be lead by photographer and author Andrew Garn, (NY by Neighborhhood, Rizzoli 2022, Wildflowers of NYC, Cornell & NY Pigeon, powerHouse) The Grand Con. is the spine of this neighborhood that features at its centerpiece the new Yankee Stadium and the sublime art-deco Bronx county court house. It is also dotted with parks and substantial deco apartment building gems built in the 1930s and 40s when the expansion of the subway system facilitated rapid development of the Concourse area. Following WW1, the area received its first great wave of immigration including Jews, Irish and Italians. Influenced by the City Beautiful movement throughout the United States, New York built the Grand Boulevard and Concourse (later shortened to Grand Concourse), modeled after the Champs Elysees in Paris.
