Apartment specialists Herman Gronenberg and Albert Leuchtag add the David Farragut to their Bronx work
Herman Gronenberg (1889-1931) and Albert J. H. Leuchtag ran a partnership devoted mainly to apartment houses, with buildings now in Manhattan's Upper East Side, Carnegie Hill, NoHo and Greenwich Village historic districts. They designed five buildings in the Grand Concourse district, among them this 1928 house and 975 Walton Avenue. Gronenberg died in 1931, and in 1936 the New York Times reported that Leuchtag had gone back to practicing architecture.
