1360 Merriam Avenue
1360 Merriam Avenue, located at the corner of West 170th Street in the Highbridge neighborhood in the South Bronx, New York City, was built about 1926.
It is, unusual for New York City, a Mission Revival style building. Despite its well maintained condition today (2015), this building was abandoned and in City ownership in the 1980s, one of many buildings in this area that went through In Rem foreclosure.
The City of New York transferred this and several other properties to the Highbridge Community Development Corporation (HCDC), which rehabilitated this and other buildings.
