No real surprise. At the time, there wasn't much in Riverdale when it was originally proposed. Most of those towers went up in the 1950's and 1960's, and Fieldston was a relatively rich enclave that already had cars.The southern part of the hill was mostly railroad workers for NY Central, the IRT, and various middle class folks living in the few older buildings. The place was actually fairly sparse until the 50's and 60's when all those apartment buildings exploded. |
