The Bronx district is planned to become a principal railroad freight center and pier district with barges at its eastern piers. The American Bank Note Company buys 197 acres near Hunt's Point station to consolidate printing operations, creating about 2500 jobs and spurring housing growth in modern flathouse districts. The East Bay Land Company sells its remaining Bronx holdings, including riverfront land once linked to the world’s fair. A Moorish mosque project features a grand stone base, light brick upper structure, polished granite columns, and a domed front, with a 1907 committee selecting the site and plans including William Bamber and others.
