695 East Gun Hill Road
Post
Elevated tracks of the IRT Third Avenue and White Plains Road lines converge at the Gun Hill Road station, May 12, 1938. In 1920, the Third Avenue El was extended from Bronx Park Terminal to Gun Hill Road, where the line terminated at a lower platform of the White Plains Road Line (today’s 2/5) Gun Hill Road Station. Third Avenue El service in the Bronx was discontinued in 1973, 18 years after the line’s Manhattan tracks were dismantled. The auto repair shop at left, at the corner of Willett Avenue, is No. 695 East Gun Hill Road.
Church of the Immaculate Conception
Post
Capuchin Friars Monastery, 1938. Since 1920, the Church of the Immaculate Conception has been associated with the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, a Catholic order related to the Franciscan Friars. This view shows the Friars’ residence, at the rear of the church. The land in the foreground is today occupied by the NYCHA Gun Hill Houses (completed in 1950).
Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge No. 1596
Post
Williamsbridge Lodge No. 1596, Loyal Order of Moose, November 11, 1932. The Loyal Order of Moose, a fraternal organization, was founded in 1888, in Louisville, Kentucky. The organization counts four former US Presidents among its ranks, including New Yorkers Franklin D. and Theodore Roosevelt. The building appears as a YMCA branch as late as 1918, but fundraising appeals published in the Mount Vernon Daily Argus indicate that its status was precarious. In the same newspaper, mentions of the Moose Lodge at that location begin in the early 1930s.
Church of the Immaculate Conception
Post
Church of the Immaculate Conception, May 24, 1928. Around the turn of the century, the Church of the Immaculate Conception (unrelated to other parishes of the same name) was established in a storefront on White Plains Road. The first church was a wooden structure on the north side of Briggs Avenue ( Gun Hill Road), completed in 1905. When that church was destroyed in a 1923 fire, parish officials elected to build a new structure, across Gun Hill Road east of Holland Avenue. The new, neo-Romanesque church designed by Joseph Ziccardi was completed in 1925.

3530 Holland Avenue
Post
A ca. 1910 wood-frame house being moved to a new location, May 25, 1928. This house was originally located at 727-729 East Gun Hill Road, down the hill from the location pictured, where it was erected some time after 1905. This photo captures the house in transit, on East 211th Street west of Holland Avenue (the brick building in the background, at left is No. 3530 Holland Avenue). Photographer P.L. Sperr failed to note the house’s ultimate destination. However, Nos. 3561-3563 Holland Avenue match the building’s footprint and street-facing windows, though bays and cornice work have been removed.
Vari Lace Manufacturing Co.
Post
Vari Lace Manufacturing Company, ca. 1909-20. This former factory building has been converted to a Pentecostal church.
