List of National Historic Landmarks in New York

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of New York National Historic Landmarks includes all of New York State's National Historic Landmarks and certain other United States federally designated historic sites that are ceased under the supervision of the National Park Service . These can include buildings, other structures, objects, sites and districts that meet the criteria for national importance. There are 260 such entries in New York , more than 10 percent of all such protected areas in the United States and more than any other state. These include the 20 National Monuments, National Historic Sites, National Memorials and similar sites of historical importance, seven of which have also been declared National Historic Landmarks. This list here covers all of these entries.

In Upstate New York are 138 of the New York National Historic Landmark, 13 are located on Long Iceland and 109 within the city limits of New York City . The county with the most of these protected areas is New York County (better known as Manhattan ) with 86; Westchester County just north of the city has 17 and western Erie County has 10. Eleven other counties have five to nine NHLs, and 27 others have one or two such sanctuaries. The remaining twelve of New York's 62 counties have no such entries.

The National Historic Landmarks in the state of New include nine prehistoric or other archaeological sites, 12 historic farmhouses, mansions or building ensembles from the Dutch colonial era, and 21 architecturally and / or historically important sacred buildings. 26 National Historic Landmarks are strictly historical, including 13 forts (five still standing forts, three house castles and five ruins), five battlefields, seven other military buildings and a shipwreck. Only one of these 26 entries relates to the Civil War , the rest were relevant to the French and Indian War and the American War of Independence .

There are ten ships among the New York NHLs, including a warship and a WWII tug . a warship that took part in the Vietnam War , three sailing ships , two fireboats and two lightships , 24 mansions and four sites that are primarily important because of their garden landscape. Many thousands of structures are contributing parts of one of the nine National Historic Landmark Districts . 22 of the entries serve or were used for education, teaching and research, ten others relate to inventions, inventors or scientists and four are outstanding engineering achievements, including two bridges that were once the longest of their kind. Commercial structures include eleven historic skyscrapers, five of which were once the tallest in the world, seven stock exchange buildings and other structures important in the state's economic history, two bank buildings, five industrial facilities and three hydraulic structures . Two of the entries are architecturally peculiar.

There are also 21 homes of national leaders and six government buildings of national importance.

The architecture firm McKim, Mead, and White was involved in the design of at least six buildings that were later declared a National Historic Landmark. It was also the work of these architects, the Pennsylvania Station , whose planned demolition in 1963 called the conservationists in New York City on the scene and in 1965 led to the establishment of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission .

There are 109 National Historic Landmarks in the city of New York City, the first of which was recorded on October 9, 1960 and the last to date on June 23, 2011. Many of them are also designated as New York City by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission Designated Landmark .

Historic areas in the United States National Park System

National Historic Sites, National Historic Parks, National Memorials, and several other areas in the United States National Park System are historically significant points of national importance that were protected before the National Historic Landmarks program was introduced in 1960; in many cases they have not been separately declared a National Historic Landmark. There are 20 such areas in New York. The National Park names 18 of these in its list, plus two National Historic Sites that are supported by the National Park Service, but not managed by it. Seven of these 20 areas have also been declared a National Historic Landmark, in some cases before they are classified as a higher protection category, four are on the list above, and the other three are on the list of National Historic Landmarks in New York City . The 13 others are:

  5. Henry Hobson Richardson produced the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style with the Buffalo State Hospital and also contributed to the New York State Capitol .
  6. Numbers are in alphabetical order of significant words; colors are used to distinguish National Monument , National Historic Site , National Historic Landmark District, and other categories administered by the National Park Service.
  7. The National Park Service provides technical and financial support for two so-called "affiliated areas" in New York, as imposed by Congress : Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site and Thomas Cole National Historic Site .
