List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Manhattan from 59th to 110th Streets facts for kids

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) was created in 1965. It's a special group in New York City that helps protect old and important buildings and places. They make sure these places stay safe and look good for future generations. The LPC has named over a thousand places as landmarks. These landmarks fall into four main groups: individual buildings, parts of buildings (like lobbies), beautiful outdoor areas, and whole neighborhoods.

The New York City area called Manhattan has many of these special landmarks. This article focuses on the landmarks found between 59th Street and 110th Street. This part of Manhattan includes famous areas like the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and a piece of East Harlem. You'll find many unique buildings and historic neighborhoods here. There are also three amazing outdoor areas that are protected. Some of these landmarks are also recognized as National Historic Landmarks, which means they are important to the whole country!

Historic Neighborhoods: Stepping Back in Time

Historic districts are like outdoor museums. They are groups of buildings or areas that have special historical or architectural importance. The LPC protects these entire neighborhoods to keep their unique look and feel. Walking through them is like taking a trip back in time!

Individual Landmarks: Special Buildings and Places

Individual landmarks are single buildings or structures that are important on their own. They might have unique designs, be very old, or have played a big role in history. Here are some of the cool individual landmarks in this part of Manhattan.
