INTRODUCTION

 

The 180 LANDREX eligible landmarks were designed by a myriad of individual architects and architectural firms. Some were and are still quite well known while others are more obscure but perhaps no less able given that their work has been deemed worthy of individual landmark status.  Many landmarks were collaborative efforts of two or more architects and/or firms usually designing different parts of a structure or making additions at a later date. Some architects and firms such as McKim, Mead & White; Richard Upjohn; James Renwick , Jr. and others designed multiple landmarks.

 

There are more than 50 architectural styles represented in these 180 buildings, the earliest of which began construction in 1699 and the latest in 1963. There were 2 buildings built in the 1600’s; 4 in the 1700’s; 110 in the 1800’s and 57 in the 1900’s. Some landmarks in this group do not have confirmed construction dates. Ninety of these landmarks have been recognized by the Federal Government and are listed either on the National Register of Historic Places and/or as a National Historic Landmark. Twenty one of these landmarks are located in New York City Historic Districts.

 

Below is a list of the known architects and/or firms that designed the eligible landmarks followed by a list of the vareious styles represented. Information was obtained from the
Guide to New York City Landmarks Fourth Edition.
