Info
The Bronx Municipal Building, later known as Bronx Borough Hall and eventually as Old Bronx Borough Hall (1897–1969), was the original administrative headquarters of the Bronx Borough President and other local civic leaders in the Bronx, New York City.Considered an architectural accomplishment of its era, it was located atop the rocky plateau of the northwest section of present-day Tremont Park, which was originally an extension of Crotona Park, southeast of the intersection of East Tremont Avenue and Third Avenue. The elevation of the building allowed for exceptional views from distances at many angles, and it was the converging point for civic affairs. The IRT Third Avenue Line, the first elevated railway line in the borough, strategically ran along the bustling neighborhoods and made a station stop in front of the building at the Tremont Avenue – 177th Street station, where a hub of trolley lines met.
