No. 294 ends a row counted among the Bronx's earliest houses
No. 294 is the last of ten three-story brick houses, Nos. 276 to 294, put up on Alexander Avenue between 1863 and 1865. The Landmarks Preservation Commission described the group as among the first rows of houses in the Bronx. Although the area was still mostly rural, the owner built a uniform row on the expectation that it would one day become fully urban.
