Completed in 1933 by the Independent Subway as the gateway to the Concourse Yard, they stand side by side along Jerome Avenue and are linked by an iron bridge. Each is three stories tall, though only the top story shows from the street. The brick and limestone facades have three bays, limestone columns, a herringbone brick pattern, a carved chevron doorway surround, a plaque reading \"City of New York Concourse Yard Entry Building,\" and wrought-iron window grilles. The yard behind them has 36 storage tracks serving the B, D and 4 lines. It is the only IND-era yard built in a depressed cut. The entry buildings are listed for their roles in transportation and community planning and for their engineering and architectural design, and they retain a high degree of integrity. Today the yard is reached through a different connection, and the doors are boarded shut.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Ridgeway, Robert (Engineer)","architectural_style":"Modern Movement/Art Deco","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The street-facing entry buildings are no longer used as entrances; the doors are boarded shut, the west building is used for materials storage, and a ground-level addition to the east building serves as crew quarters.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:52.627353-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/06000014.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312112","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concourse_Yard_Entry_Buildings","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137189872"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/the-bronx/concourse-yard-entry-buildings-06000014/"}
