United Workers Cooperatives
United Workers Cooperatives, National Register site in Allerton, Bronx, United States.
The United Workers Cooperatives consists of three apartment buildings and five structures at 2700-2870 Bronx Park East, featuring Tudor Revival architecture with half-timbered gables.
The Industrial Workers of the World developed this complex from 1926 to 1929 as cooperative housing for working-class members, particularly those in needle trades.
The buildings contained classrooms, a library, and implemented non-eviction policies during the Great Depression, supporting tenant stability through financial difficulties.
The complex earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, followed by National Historic Landmark status in 1991.
Jewish socialists and communists established this cooperative enclave by selling shares, creating a community where residents participated equally in decision-making processes.
