Casa Amadeo, antigua Casa Hernandez

Casa Amadeo, antigua Casa Hernández is the oldest continuously-occupied Latin music store in New York City and the Bronx, having opened in 1941.

Casa Amadeo is located in a historic apartment building in Longwood, Bronx. Designed by James F. Meehan, the apartment building was built in 1905 and named The Manhaset. The building is a six-story, Neo-Renaissance style building with commercial storefronts on the first floor. The lower two stories are faced with rusticated stone and the upper floors in red brick. It features a projecting entrance porch flanked by Corinthian order columns. The building is managed by local grassroots organization Banana Kelly, which has rehabilitated and maintained buildings in Longwood since the 1970s.
