LANDMARK WEST! is pleased to present THE BOULEVARD with our partners at the WEST END PRESERVATION SOCIETY.

Manhattan Avenue

Urged by the opening of the 104th stop on the 9th Avenue Elevated train, Manhattan Avenue was the last avenue carved out of the Upper West Side. First imagined in 1868, and laid in 1872-1873, “New Avenue” changed its name to the current, Manhattan Avenue in 1884 after intervention from the West Side Association.

Join us, because we are going to rock on to Manhattan Avenue soon and then we’ll take it higher…or at least up to the 110th Street limit of our district.

Our Social History research of Manhattan Avenue is heating up!  We update these histories as we have upcoming Landmarks Preservation Commission C of A’s or other research priorities.  Click on the corresponding icons below to learn more about the featured addresses.
