Historic 1890s Townhouse | Film & Photoshoot Location | Bronx, New York

Authentic period townhouse available for film, television, commercial, and editorial productions.

Located in the Bronx, New York, our classic 1890 townhouse offers an authentic historic backdrop for film, television, commercial, and photoshoot productions. Featuring original fireplaces, preserved hardwood floors, period doors and moldings, a clawfoot tub, and an original painted ceiling, our property provides genuine architectural character rarely found in modern filming locations.

Our townhouse retains its original 19th-century craftsmanship while offering production-friendly access and flexible scheduling for professional crews. Its classic New York townhouse layout, historic details, and natural texture make it ideal for period pieces, dramas, interviews, lifestyle shoots, and character-driven storytelling.

As a Bronx film location, the property provides convenient access to Manhattan while offering a quieter, more flexible alternative to highly restricted filming areas. Our home’s preserved details — including original flooring, decorative moldings, and restored fireplaces — create a visually rich setting suitable for productions seeking authenticity without set construction.

Available for:

  • Feature films

  • Television productions

  • Commercial shoots

  • Editorial and fashion shoots

  • Music videos

  • Documentary interviews

Inquiries from location managers, producers, and scouts are welcome.
