Manhattan Residential Architecture

By Darren China, R.A.

Residential architecture in Manhattan is wide and varied in its style and age.  This is of no surprise since the city has been in existence since the 1600’s.  As an architect it’s always gratifying to look at the breadth of architecture the city is home to.  Here in Manhattan one can find virtually any style of building constructed in America beginning with Fraunces Tavern built in 1719, itself originally a residence.
