Bloomingdale Bulletin,
Spring 2021 Here is the latest issue of our newsletter, which describes our ongoing work to highlight local history and culture. Click on the image below. Happy reading! 
Free Zoom Presentation for later date: Andrew Alpern, architectural historian and author of the new book Posh Portals: Elegant Entrances and Ingratiating Ingresses to Apartments for the Affluent in New York City, will present a richly illustrated program that he has designed especially for the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group. Alpern's program will highlight the most outstanding examples of "posh portals", entrance ways that can stop passersby in their tracks, creating wow-worthy first impressions of some of the most elegant and luxurious apartment houses on the Upper West Side. To receive email notification of upcoming monthly presentations please share your email at our CONTACT US page where you can also sign up for our seasonal newsletter. Of course, we will not give your information to others. Revised BNHG Building Database Now Available The table is the product of more than two years of research and field work by BNHG members, led by Gilbert Tauber. The table lists all of the 1,056 buildings in the area from the north side of 96th Street to the south side of 110th Street between Central Park West and Riverside Drive. The latest revision adds the Department of Buildings’ Building Identification Number (BIN) for each building. This will make it easier to coordinate our information with databases maintained by the Department of Buildings and other agencies. The BIN also makes it possible to distinguish individual buildings in situations where there are multiple buildings on the same tax lot, as in the case of Frederick Douglass Houses. There is also a new column for the Department of Finance building classification, which helpfully states whether a non-condo apartment building has an elevator or is a walk-up. Explore this revised database at the BUILDING DATABASE page of our RESOURCES section |
