Washington Heights and Inwood are fortunate to have the largest concentration of Art Deco apartment houses on Manhattan, and one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco apartment houses in the United States.
This fact has largely gone unrecognized by many people, including property owners, local government, community leaders, and leading experts and scholars on Art Deco in New York City – that is until now. Limited understanding of the significance of the Art Deco buildings of Northern Manhattan poses the greatest threat to their survival. Though education alone is not enough. This requires a comprehensive effort to generate local interest and pride, and financial incentives to help protect these buildings.
Appropriate recognition of the Art Deco apartment houses in Washington Heights and Inwood has the added advantage in promoting recognition and understanding of Art Deco apartment houses nationwide.
