The Historical Society was delighted to partner with John Howard, founder of the Bronx Art Deco Apartment House Archive, for a walking tour exploring lesser known Art Deco buildings along the Mosholu Parkway this past weekend.

John is a committed architectural preservationist, seeking to educate and save non-landmarked Art Deco buildings throughout the Bronx.

The tour was the second part in the ongoing "Art Deco Beyond the Grand Concourse" walking tours.
Stay tuned for more upcoming tours!
