    PHotos of razed building before 1970
    I don't know what category this falls into. I want "inside" photos of a building that
    Was torn down in the Bronx (NY) I got the public library photo but it's only of the
    Of the outside of the building. They are tax photos. The building had
    Two entrances and two courts. I want photos of the courts if it exists.

    I got information about the building from the NYC Buildings website but still nothing
    About photos. I wrote to the Bronx County Historical Society and she had no info
    Other then the building websites which didn't help.

    Should I give up?? Who else can I ask?

    Have you tried doing a public records search and see if the owners are somewhere around?

    Or possibly the architectural firm that designed the building, or construction drawings which may still be on file with the building division which could lead you to the architect. Or the contractor for the building may have information to lead you to the answers you are looking for. And the tenants/employees. Possibilities are practically endless.

    Thank you... there are no owners. The building was torn down and a school sites
    On the site. I will follow up on your sugg re architectural firm if it still exists (since the l930's) If the building were there I would take photos of it myself... I don't live
    That far away but it was torn down a number of years ago.
