Audubon Park Historic District (Manhattan)

The Audubon Park Historic District is located on five blocks in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

It consists of 19 large apartment buildings and one duplex house, and abuts the Audubon Terrace Historic District on the southeast.

It is named for naturalist John James Audubon, who purchased 20 acres of land there in 1841, at a time when the area was still mostly farms, woodland and the country estates of the rich.

[1] The area was designated an historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on May 12, 2009.
