Park Terrace Gardens rises on the site of the Seaman mansion
In November 1938 the family of contractor Thomas Dwyer sold the nearly century-old Seaman mansion to a corporation headed by David Rose, and the house was demolished late that year. Architect Albert Goldhammer designed five eight-story buildings with 400 apartments around more than two acres of gardens, between Park Terrace East and West and 215th to 217th Streets, ready for tenants in the summer of 1939.

1939
Albert Goldhammer's five-building Park Terrace Gardens complex is completed
Architect Albert Goldhammer designs five fireproof, eight-story apartment buildings of about 80 apartments each for a corporation headed by David Rose. They replace the Seaman-Drake mansion, then known as the Dwyer house, on a tract between Park Terrace West and Park Terrace East. The plans set aside more than two acres for gardens, and the mansion's marble entrance arch survives on Broadway at 216th Street.
