Today April 18, 2017, I stopped by the old Polychrome HQ at Ashburton and Alexander. I was able to drive in to the parking lot in front of the building facing Hudson. There is a sign posted to show that the Northline Utilities operates here. As you can see there are many electric power line related materials on the ground. I found a trailer converted into office building and had chance to chat with a lady working in the office. She said that the company is renting the space just for a while and she expects the property will be converted to a water front luxury apartment with a great water front view. I did not see on my way in but she pointed out that there are many new apartment buildings being built along the Ashburton Ave. Yes the gentrification may finally arrive in Yonkers!
Polychrome Corporation, a brainchild of Mr. Halpern, is now a major part of Kodak Co. and continues to live on. But the small company spirit died on Jan 1. 1998 when the company became a part of DIC-Kodak joint venture. This blog is dedicated to the memory of those who proudly call themselves "Polychromer". ..... Ken Shimazu shimazukenichi@gmail.com

Luxury water front condo on Ashburton Ave?
