The Proposed Pelham Parkway Historic District (2007)
Advocating for the Six Story Apartment House
The Pelham Parkway neighborhood of the Bronx has long served as home to working- and middle-class New York families. The six-story apartment houses in which they reside provide comfortable living at affordable prices and it is because of this fact that they stand in such large numbers throughout the metropolitan area. This commonality of the speculative six-story elevator apartment house has long left the building type under recognized and unappreciated. Though many of these dwellings stand alone or in small numbers, a survey of other groups of six-story apartment houses affirm that the Pelham Parkway area is one of few truly cohesive neighborhoods of this typology, also containing facilities to meet residents' commercial, religious and educational needs.
