Description
The 0.09-acre triangular plaza honors William J. Barry, a Bronx-born private with Company C, 328th Infantry, who was killed in action on October 14, 1918. Before leaving for Europe, Barry lived on Longfellow Avenue. The street itself is named for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the popular 19th-century poet best known for writing Paul Revere’s Ride.
