Fort Independence Park Neighborhood Association Kingsbridge Bronx, New York This project is funded in part by the Elizabeth and Robert Jeffe Preservation Fund for New York City, a grant program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. 2 2011 SURVEY STUDY AREA 3 INTRODUCTION In October of 2011, the Fort Independence Park Neighborhood Association (FIPNA) received a Jeffe Preservation Fund grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to undertake a survey of the Fort Independence area in Kingsbridge, the Bronx. The survey area covered eight blocks in the Fort Independence neighborhood (also known as Van Cortlandt Village) of the northwest Bronx, beginning two blocks south of Van Cortlandt Park and continuing three blocks further south, and starting at the western edge of the Jerome Park Reservoir along Sedgwick Avenue and extending two blocks west to Fort Independence Street. Streets in the survey area included Orloff Avenue, Van Cortlandt Avenue West, Cannon Place Sedgwick Avenue, Stevenson Place, West 238th Street, and Giles Place. The area is almost entirely residential, including large apartment complexes surrounded by two- and three-story brick and frame one- and two-family houses. While one large housing complex within the district – the Sholem Aleichem houses – has been found individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the remaining portion of the area has been under growing pressure, as single- family houses have given way to large new apartment blocks, as along Orloff Avenue and Fort Independence Street.
