No. 857 is half of one of five nearly matching double houses on Macy Place that architect Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1900. The street was developed by Theodore Macy and named for him. Plans for the IRT subway linking the Bronx and Manhattan prompted this early rowhouse building in Morrisania, which until the late 1800s had few residents.
“The developer of Macy Place was Theodore Macy, after whom the street is named.”

Macy Place's double houses are added to the Longwood Historic District
The Landmarks Preservation Commission added the north side of Macy Place to the Longwood Historic District on February 8, 1983. At the April 1982 hearing two people spoke for the designation and nobody spoke against it. Assemblyman Armando Montano was among those who sent letters of support. The original district had been designated in July 1980.
