The Grand Concourse is one of the most important avenues in the Bronx. Designed by Louis Aloys Risse, an immigrant from Lorraine, France, who had previously worked for the New York Central Railroad. Risse was appointed chief topographical engineer for the city in the 1890s. Many of the buildings along the Concourse were designed in the Art Deco style, creating a semi-consistent visual along the broad boulevard. Visit the past via the Grand Concourse. Discover the stunning architecture from civic monuments to Art Deco apartment houses to grand municipal structures.

All Hallows Institute, 1933. All Hallows was founded in 1909 as a Catholic boys elementary and high school by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. The institution moved from 124th Street in Manhattan to this Bronx structure in 1929 and in 1977 became solely a high school. Famous alumni of the school include former NBS players Olden Polynice and Shawnelle Scott, and James Donovan, the lawyer and military officer who negotiated the release of a captured American pilot from the USSR in 1962.
