The Avenue A Estate (also known as the York Avenue Estate) is a historic complex of tenement buildings on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. The complex occupies a city block bounded by the FDR Drive, 79th Street, York Avenue, and 78th Street. The buildings, along with the neighboring Cherokee Apartments, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1990 as the City and Suburban Homes Company's York Avenue Estate and Shively Sanitary Tenements Historic District.[2] The Avenue A estate was individually designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1990;[3] the Cherokee Apartments are designated as a separate city landmark.[4]
Description
The Avenue A Estate was one of the oldest tenement projects developed by the City and Suburban Homes Company on Manhattan's Upper East Side, behind only the First Avenue Estate further south between 64th and 65th streets.[3]
