Hardenberg/Rhinelander Historic District
Business Details
About
Upper Manhattan’s quiet side streets hold pockets of architectural history. The Hardenberg/Rhinelander Historic District is one such enclave, stretching along Lexington Avenue between East 89th and 93rd Streets. At 1344 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10128, the district’s preserved facades offer a glimpse of late-19th-century urban design without the crowds of more famous landmarks. Families exploring the area will find the setting especially accommodating for children, with wide sidewalks and a low-key atmosphere that invites lingering.
Self-guided walks through the district reveal row houses and apartment buildings in Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne styles, their details still sharp after more than a century.
