The Amalgamated's president, Ed Yaker stood with the sign indicating when the development was founded. The festivities included a photo exhibit (residents identified some familiar faces in photo at right) and a coffee-and-cake reception in Vladeck Hall on Nov. 1. The community hall is located in the development's Building 6, which is the oldest cooperative housing structure in the United States.
