Several years ago, members of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group handstakingly compiled information on every building in the neighborhood, creating a Building Database for every block and lot stretching from W 96th St to W 110th St, from park to park.
In order to visualize and update this crucial research, BNHG member Abigail Jack has developed a Building Database Map in ArcGIS Pro. This updated Building Database Map aims to make Bloomingdale’s building history more accessible to a wider audience, and provide additional information about the people who shaped our urban environment and lived in this neighborhood.
