The Park Plaza Apartments were one of the first and most prominent Art Deco apartment buildings erected in the Bronx, New York City. The eight-story, polychromatic terra cotta embellished structure at 1005 Jerome Avenue and West 164th Street was designed by Horace Ginsberg and Marvin Fine and completed in 1931. It is an eight-story building divided into five blocks or sections, each six bays wide. There are about 200 apartments, ranging from one to five rooms.[2]

It became a New York City designated landmark in 1981 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
