1865
One of the Bronx's first rows of houses rises at the corner of Alexander Avenue and 139th Street
No. 276 is the corner house of a row of ten three-story brick houses on the east side of Alexander Avenue, between 139th and 140th Streets, put up between 1863 and 1865. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called the row one of the earliest, possibly the very first, built in the Bronx, raised while the area was still largely rural by an owner who expected it to turn urban.
