The building is completed as the John Ericsson Building, a name that still marks parts of it
Completed in 1928, the building was first called the John Ericsson Building, and that name can still be seen in several places on it. Today it is a co-operative apartment building, and The New York Times has counted it among the most prominent residential buildings in the Bronx. Lazarus Joseph, a New York State senator and later New York City comptroller, is listed among its notable residents.
“It was built in 1928 and was originally called the John Ericsson Building; John Ericsson's name can still be found in several parts of the structure.”
