Central Park West - West 73rd-74th Streets Historic District

Central Park West – West 73rd-74th Streets (1977)

This square block contains some of the finest residential design on the Upper West Side. The earliest buildings in the district are 18 rowhouses on 73rd St., which survive from a row of 28 designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh in 1882-85 for Edward Clark. Their style is compatible with the nearby Dakota Apartments (1880-84) also designed by Hardenbergh for Clark. Clark’s grandson, developed much of 74th St. (1902-04) with a long row of neo-Georgian houses. In 1902 the Clarks sold the Central Park West frontage and the elegant, Beaux-Arts detailed Langham Apartments (1904-07) was erected.
