DECO!
by Simone ·
While not as ornate or seemingly grand as some of the other buildings along the Grand Concourse and in other parts of the Bronx, these streamlined, simple and quintessentially Art Deco buildings hold great appeal for me. This was taken this evening and is located just across from the Court House along the Grand Concourse, near Yankee Stadium.

The Mario Merola Building, or Bronx County Courthouse, one of the largest court houses ever built in the United States dominates the landscape where it sits majestically overlooking The Grand Concourse and the adjacent park. Although not technically Art Deco, there are enough of the design’s influences to include it here. This is the first sight most visitors see when they step out of the Yankee Stadium subway stop - its size and scope is mesmerizing!

Two of these beautiful sculputres flank the Court House.

Just another simple deco building similar to others scattered throughout the Grand Concourse and surrounding area.
