New York City LPC Unveils Three Historic Markers For Old Croton Aqueduct Walk In The Bronx
New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and NYC Parks recently unveiled three historic markers commemorating the Old Croton Aqueduct Walk, The Bronx‘s first scenic landmark. The aqueduct opened in 1842 and was an engineering marvel that brought the first direct fresh water supply to New York City. The walkway built atop its stone embankments has long served as a public space for the local community. The markers, funded by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation, have been installed at three locations along the walkway in The Bronx.
