The huge building on the left has three wings and occupies almost an entire city block. The building in the right hand photo again shows how Art Deco buildings used odd angles when necessary to conform to the street. It also has metal rail work visible on the roof -- another Deco hallmark.

A huge, three wing Art Deco
apartment building at 172nd St. |
This building sits on the
west side of the Concourse at Morris Ave. |
On the left, the photo shows a streetscape looking southward down the Concourse near the Cross-Bronx Expressway. The building on the right is near 167th Street. It evinces again the use of staggered fronts and corner windows typical of Art Deco style. Interestingly, the rooflines are very plain. This is in contrast to the crenelated roofs common to other Deco buildings on the Concourse.
