Tracey Towers
A pair of Brutalist apartment towers on Mosholu Parkway, Tracey Towers is one of the Bronx's most striking pieces of residential architecture, and a favourite subject for anyone with a camera.
The story
Rising over Mosholu Parkway, Tracey Towers is a working apartment building whose Brutalist form makes it hard not to stare. The towers read as a feat of architecture as much as a place to live, and they remain a favourite photographic subject even for people who pass them every day. The height pays off from the inside too: the windows frame wide views across the Bronx. For most people, though, the building is best taken in from the parkway, where its bold, sculptural massing is clearest. This is a private residence with shared facilities such as a laundry room, so it is a building to admire from outside rather than tour.
Good to know
TAGGG AI- ✦This is a private residential building, so plan to view and photograph the Brutalist towers from Mosholu Parkway outside.
- ✦Do not leave a car on the building's ramp, as vehicles parked there are towed quickly.
