Melrose is a community in The South Bronx that is located north of Mott Haven and South of Morrisania. The neighborhood has a rich history and shows the influence of the various ethnic groups that called Melrose home including Germans, Polish, Italians, and Puerto Ricans. Some of the sites we will see are The Opera House Hotel, three 19th century German churches, the ruins of a brewery, and the Old Bronx Borough Courthouse. We will also see some of the community gardens and newer buildings that have appeared since the 1970's when much of the housing stock was abandoned or burned.
