Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts – Bronx

USA / New York / Inwood / East 161st Street, 505
 school, interesting place, historic landmark, 1910s construction

Designed c. 1905 by Oscar Bluemner with Michael J. Garvin and completed in 1914. When the new Bronx County Courthouse on the Grand Concourse was completed in 1934, the Bronx Borough Courthouse became the Criminal Court of the City of New York-Bronx Branch. This court moved out in 1977.

It is now adaptively reused as a charter school under the direction of Biber Architects which kept the interior largely intact. Funding was provided by the Paulson Family Foundation.
