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.
Vyse Mansion
Post
Vyse Mansion, ca. 1893. Described as "one of the Bronx's most attractive homes" the Vyse Mansion was surrounded on all sides by tall two-story Corinthian columns that created a first floor piazza and a second floor porch. According to an 1886 'History of Westchester County' (this area was Westchester at that point), the home was erected by a wealthy Irish linen merchant named Thomas Richardson and later owned by its namesake, a T.A Vyse. The large estate was known as "a model of rural beauty" with grottos, aviaries, statues, and conservatories. A 'History of the Bronx' published in 1906 states the mansion was demolished "a few years ago" and had been replaced by a number of houses.
