Morris Heights
Morris Heights was formerly the home of Gas Engine & Power Company & Charles L. Seabury Company, a shipbuilding firm on Mathewson Road near Roberto Clemente State Park.[4] Founded in 1896 by the merger of the formerly separate Gas Engine & Power Company & Charles L. Seabury Company,[5] the firm operated along Morris Heights' waterfront until it moved to City Island following World War
After a wave of arson ravaged the low-income communities of New York City throughout the 1970s, many, if not most, residential structures in Morris Heights were left seriously damaged or destroyed. The city began to rehabilitate many formerly abandoned tenement-style apartment buildings and designate them low-income housing in the late 1970s. Also, many subsidized attached multi-unit townhouses and newly constructed apartment buildings.

I just want to say thanks for these videos from the bottom of my heart bre. Because of my health I can’t probably ever return to the city I was born, raised and love, but your videos take me back. I even got a big screen in my therapy room and thinking about getting a bigger screen so I can really zone out (lmao). Thanks

[@ThomEchi]

It is really a pleasure to know that the video walking tour is helping you reminisce about your old neighborhood.

Many years ago I used to look forward to spending a weekend at my grandparents home on Andrews Avenue South. Watching this video brought back some good memories for me.

[@ThomEchi]

Glad it brought good memories

I lived on Featherbed lane right off of University Ave for years. I found my wife while living there. Thanks for the memories.
