Development
A population jump in North Riverdale invited more business to the area, including two new banks. Further south, on Kappock Street in Spuyten Duyvil, the skyline forever changed when three massive apartment buildings were planned for the nine-acre site between Johnson, Netherland and Kappock streets.
But, perhaps the most important addition to the area came in the form of the North Riverdale branch of the New York Public Library, which is still located on Mosholu Avenue. The library was originally located at Riverdale Neighborhood House.
