Spy House
Post
Spy House, 1899. Boston Road, west side, at the head of Bristow Street, showing the "Spy House", dating back to pre-Revolutionary days. It is said to have been the dwelling, during the American Revolution, of a spy, who enacted the same role as did Harvey Birch in Fenimore Cooper's story,"The Spy." The house was razed some time between 1907 and 1911 and on its site now stands a 1-story brick building.
Public School 98, Herman Ridder Junior High School
Post
Public School 98, 1933. Constructed between 1929 and 1931, Public School 98 was, as noted in the Landmarks Commission report, "the first thoroughly 'modernist' Art Deco public school building in New York City." Planned and designed by the Board of Education's Bureau of Design and Construction, headed by Walter C. Martin, the building was strikingly new in style, both in massing and in ornamentation. The entrance and corner tower, seen here, mimics the set-back look of contemporary Deco skyscrapers. It was also the first school structure planned specifically as a junior high school (as previously they had been located in modified elementary facilities). The school was named for Herman Ridder, a prominent journalist, German-language publisher and philanthropist, who had passed away in 1915.
