Park Plaza Apartments, Art Deco apartment building in The Bronx, United States
Park Plaza Apartments is an eight-story residential building in The Bronx with bright terra cotta decoration in multiple colors. The structure spans five distinct sections along Jerome Avenue, each featuring six window bays across its facade.
The building was completed in 1931 by architects Horace Ginsbern and Marvin Fine and represents an early example of Art Deco residential design in the area. Its construction was part of a wave of modern apartment buildings that emerged in The Bronx during that decade.
The building displays Art Deco details that reflect the residential style of the 1930s, with ornate facades made from colorful terra cotta. The decorative elements tell of an era when apartment buildings were treated as works of art.
The building sits at the corner of Jerome Avenue and West 164th Street and houses about 200 residential units ranging from one to five rooms. As a private residence, only its exterior is accessible to visitors walking past the property.
The building's immediate surroundings changed dramatically when the neighboring Macombs Dam Park was transformed in 2006 into what became the new Yankee Stadium location. This shift reshaped the character and landscape of the neighborhood.
