List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Manhattan below 14th Street facts for kids
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), started in 1965, is a special group in New York City's government. Their job is to protect important buildings and places by giving them "landmark" status. Since they began, they've named over a thousand landmarks! These special places fall into four main types: individual buildings, parts of buildings (like a fancy lobby), scenic spots, and whole historic neighborhoods.
Manhattan, one of New York City's main areas, has tons of these designated landmarks. The part of Manhattan below 14th Street, called Lower Manhattan, has more than a hundred! Some of these are also recognized as National Historic Landmark (NHL) sites, which means they're important to the whole country's history.
