Tenants started moving into Nickerson Gardens on East 114th Street in March 1954 while builders were still working around them. At 1,066 units it is the biggest public housing development in the city, laid out low and wide across the blocks rather than stacked into towers the way eastern cities built theirs.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
