| dc.description | One of the brick skyscrapers (Prospect Towers) with limestone facade and Neo-Gothic details; Tudor City is an apartment complex located on the southern edge of Turtle Bay on the East Side of Manhattan. It was the first residential skyscraper complex in the world. The complex was built to bring in middle-class residents who had begun leaving Manhattan for the suburbs. By 1932 French had finished nine big apartment houses and a hotel with a total of 2,800 units that soon accommodated 4,500 residents. Tudor City now has 15 buildings, comprising 11 co-op apartment buildings and four brownstones, and are home to more than 5000 residents. The complex includes restaurants, a hotel, grocery, a gourmet deli, and convenience stores, a hair salon, laundries and dry cleaners, as well as three garden parks and a children's playground. In 1988, Tudor City was named a New York City historic district. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 9/6/2015) | en_US |
