Claremont Park Station, 1936. A station of the New York and Harlem Railroad existed here in Claremont Park beginning in 1847 (though the railroad had begun service through here six years earlier). While the original station here was on grade with the tracks, the structure rebuilt by New York Central in 1889 stood as a bridge over the four tracks below (the cut down to the tracks is not visible here behind the station). Declining ridership and a deteriorating station forced the closure of the Claremont Park station in 1960. The structure was likely demolished soon after.

Mansion at the corner of Fulton Avenue and 169th Street, ca. 1918.

Eichler Mansion, ca. 1918. John Eichler, a German, emigrated to New York in 1855. Over the next few decades he built a massive brewing business, becoming one of the city's beer magnates (brewing was especially popular in the German communities of the Bronx). This home was constructed for him in 1889. Designed by German-born architects, De Lemos & Cordes, the large French Renaissance style mansion was a testament to Eichler's success. It sat on the corner lot overlooking his full block brewery complex. In 1918 following Eichler's death, the mansion was purchased by the new Bronx Hospital and converted into a 110-bed medical facility. The building remained a medical center for the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital into the 21st century. The home was demolished in 2011 and replaced with a modern five-story hospital building.

David Mayer Brewery, 1936. David Mayer was a Bronx brewery that opened in 1882 and was "closed" with the enacting of the Prohibition laws in 1920. According to legal documents from 1928 it seems that the Brewery might have been illegally producing "beer of the forbidden alcoholic content," which was discovered when a truck carrying it from the complex was stopped. They had also been producing 'day beer,' which was a legal near-beer type creation. With this evidence the court ruled to "declare \[the building] a common nuisance" and the doors were padlocked.
