This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. These pages are no longer being updated.

44. Lenox Terrace West 132nd to West 135th Streets, east side of Malcolm X Blvd.
Set back from the street, this complex of sixteen-story towers designed in 1957 by S. J. Kessler and Sons for 1,100 middle-income residents, demonstrates the popularity of the 'tower in park' design of new residential development in the post-World War II period. The apartments are primarily owner-occupied co-operative units.
