Location: 2796 Pond Place. Block: 3289, Lot:16.
Status: Never landmarked or heard. House has very modern siding and at first glance you’d never suspect its actual age.
Description from the Bronx Survey:
The small farmhouse at 2796 Pond Place (named for a pond once located at the corner of East 198th Street) may be one of the oldest remaining structures on the street and probably dates from the mid-nineteenth century. The northern, eastern and southern facades are reportedly original, with wider boards and hand wrought nails indicating an early date.
The symmetrical plan with central chimney, plain window lintels, and returned cornice are also elements found in the mid-nineteenth century, while the enclosed entry is a much later addition.
