It survives as a prominent architectural landmark in East Tremont and is the work of Horgan & Slattery, a firm specializing in public and commercial buildings.","narrative":"Built as a police station in the East Tremont section of the Bronx, this three-story building at 1925 Bathgate Avenue was designed in 1900 by the firm of Horgan & Slattery and completed in 1901. Its yellow brick walls carry stone trim and Italian Renaissance Revival details, and the facade follows the three-part layout of a Renaissance palace, with string courses dividing each level. The seven-bay front has round-arched openings in rusticated stone on the first floor, alternating triangular and segmental window lintels on the second, and a cast-iron cornice with dentils, modillions and mascarons. The structure is masonry with steel beams and concrete floors. Begun for the 37th Precinct, it became home to the 49th and was later the 48th, serving as a station until the early 1970s. The building has since stood empty and sealed, with a vandalized interior and fire damage to the roof. It was listed as an excellent example of municipal architecture from the turn of the twentieth century.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Horgan (Arthur J.) & Slattery (Vincent J.)","architectural_style":"Italian Renaissance Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Unoccupied, vacant since the early 1970s and sealed since about 1975; the interior is vandalized and stripped, and fires have damaged the roof.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:43.371308-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/83001639.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001639/43520597aa-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001639/43520597aa-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"jim.henderson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:48th_Police_Precinct_Station_Tremont_2012-09_via_WLM_jeh.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">jim.henderson</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:48th_Police_Precinct_Station_Tremont_2012-09_via_WLM_jeh.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75316443","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48th_Police_Precinct_Station","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4638701"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/the-bronx/48th-police-precinct-station-83001639/"}
