| The Upper West Side became the city's
new residential quarter in late 19th and early 20th Century. Mostly, these
homes were built for residents who worked downtown. The new elevated lines
of the 1870s made it possible to develop this barren, rocky terrain into
blocks of row houses, tenements and apartment houses for the very wealthy
and for the working middle-class. The city's new quarter quickly attracted
many established religious institutions that built grand buildings on
important corner lots in an effort to outshine one another. Cultural
institutions also blossomed in this new, elite section of the city. This
walk will focus on different housing types, and the development of the
multiple-dwelling building, from the tenement to the grand apartment
house. |
