We’ll take in the northern part of the Grand Concourse, starting at the Poe Cottage and seeing a lot of Art Deco apartment buildings, then crossing to Williamsbridge Oval and back to Mosholu Parkway. We’ll walk past the Amalgamated Houses. the oldest limited equity housing cooperative in the United States, sponsored by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union starting in the 1920s. We’ll descend the West 238 Street stairs and proceed into Kingsbridge for lunch (probably) at the Kingsbridge Social Club.

We’ll meet at the Kingsbridge Road subway station (D train), by the station booth at the south (Kingsbridge Road) end of the station, and depart promptly at 12 Noon. All are welcome but let me know you’re coming and be on time.
