Webster Houses
Webster Houses is named after Daniel
Webster (1782-1852). A U.S. Representative from New Hampshire and later a
Representative and Senator from Massachusetts, he was a noted orator who
espoused the preservation of the Union as a leader in the new Whig Party.
Webster fast became a champion of American nationalism. He was a strong opponent
of the war of 1812 because it had crippled New England¿s shipping industry. When
New England switched to manufacturing to replace the lost shipping business,
Webster fought for high-tariffs to prevent competition from imports. He twice
served as Secretary of State (1841-43 and 1850-52). Daniel Webster Houses has
five, 21-story buildings with 605 apartments. Completed September 30, 1965, the
4.53-acre Bronx development is between East 168th and East 169th Streets, and
Park and Webster Avenues. Daniel Webster Houses is home to 1,523 residents.
