Building of the Day: Harlem River Houses

Holistic renewal of landmarked Harlem River Houses modernizes the buildings and enhances the spacious grounds, restoring or recreating character-defining features including a natural amphitheater and historic public art. The much-needed restoration and rehabilitation brings energy and safety improvements promoting personal health and social well-being in the community with new social services, management offices, and refreshed retail. Harlem River Houses received a 2025 Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award and 2025 SARA NY Design Award of Merit.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: Curtis + Ginsberg Architects
