Millennial Art Deco: The Bronx
The building in this photo is located at 1022 Rev. James A. Polite Avenue, at the northeast corner of Polite Avenue and East 165th Street in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx.
It was developed by Community Access, Inc., and its partners, as supportive housing for low-income and formerly homeless individuals. It was designed by Wormser & Associates Architects and completed in 2005.
The design of the building's exterior seems to harken back to the Art Deco style, popular in 1920s and 1930s. Art Deco is strongly associated with the Bronx as the borough experienced a building boom in those years with many apartment houses, institutional buildings, and other structures featuring Art Deco designs.
