MOTT HAVEN EAST HISTORIC DISTRICT

William O’Gorman & William
Hornum
1877–1900

This historic district, located on East 139th and East 140th Streets between Willis and Brook Avenues, is one of the oldest rowhouse developments in The Bronx, where the rowhouse typology is rare in comparison to other parts of the city. The houses were designed by two architects who, in some cases, collaborated. The houses on the north side of East 140th Street form a whimsical row in a mix of styles, including Dutch/Flemish pediments.

Mott Haven East is a New York City Historic District.
