Built in 1908 and 1909, No. 870 is the last number in the row of 24 semi-detached two-family houses running from No. 814 to No. 870 Manida Street. Daube & Kreymborg designed them for developer James F. Meehan of the Manida Development Company, a project the Landmarks Preservation Commission ties to the subway's arrival in the Bronx and the industrial growth builders anticipated.

No. 870 still has its original metal-and-glass double door and iron stoop railing
Read more
No. 870 keeps two features many of its neighbors have lost: the historic metal-and-glass double-leaf door and the iron railing on its stoop. It shares a cornice and steeply pitched side-gabled parapet with No. 868. The landmarks report noted later changes too, including painted brick and stone, replacement windows, security grilles and a security camera, and the loss of a decorative balustrade.
