New York City Sights

Architectural, Cultural sights in New York City

  1. A

    Washington Mews

    Private stables converted into homes line one side of the picturesque Washington Mews. Gaslights and horses have disappeared, but the tiny alley still embodies the essence of old New York. Famous residents have included writers Sherwood Anderson and Walter Lippman, and artist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, founder of the Whitney Museum. It's surrounded now by New York University, which owns some of the properties.

    Wyckoff House

    The Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, in Brooklyn, is the oldest house in the city. Its first section, constructed in 1652, is easily recognizable by its shingled exterior and peaked roof, which has flaring eaves.
