Post
East 167th Street adjacent to the northwest corner of Simpson Street, 1942. On this block the only building still standing is the four-story brick structure at the far right. Both the large apartment house on the next corner and the small mansard roof structure mid-block have been razed and not replaced.
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
Post
Holy Trinity Church, 1938. Constructed for the Free Magyar Reform Church, a Hungarian-speaking congregation in 1909, this church sits on a triangular lot. The apse of the building (the recess that usually includes the altar) is here at the narrowest point of the lot at the corner. A delightful, slim, polygonal cupola tops the variegated brickwork church. Later the Thompson & Frohling-designed building became the home of the Trinity Lutheran Church, as is depicted in this 1938 photograph. In the mid-1950s the church was sold to an A.M.E. Zion Church. In 1978 it was renamed for Dorothy L. Jordan Walls, wife of AMEZ Bishop. Mother Walls Church celebrated their 50th anniversary at this home in 2005.
