☞ ARCHITECTURE: The City Island Skyscraper


The 1898 building on City Island was once the tallest building in town until 1963 when a six story residential building took over the title. Nevertheless, this structure is undisputed in its character and stands proudly over City Island Avenue between Fordham and Hawkins Street. This Bronx Island is the perfect day trip from Harlem since it takes about one hour to get to on public transit. Take the 6 train to the Pelham Bay Park Station stop, which is the last stop, and take BX29 bus to City Island.
