Governor Alfred E. Smith Houses

The housing developement is strategically placed between the Financial District and Chinatown. A very short walk to the South Street Seaport.

My father, mother and 3 daughters moved to the Smith Houses when they were yet newly built in 1954. We attended PS 1. Our experience living there and attending school in the area as young children was truly unforgettable. Yesterday (6/ 7/15) we returned to revisit the area. We were truly impressed to see that the Smith Houses are now truly a piece of cultural history. The Smith Houses remain well kept and clean and we were so delighted. We went to see the school we attended then which is now a shelter. We had a view of the Brooklyn Bridge which seemed almost touchable from our window at the time. I remember walking across the Brooklyn Bridge with my parents. It brought back so many memories. To management keep up the good work in maintaining such a piece of (in my eyes) culture.

love my view.
