This map includes over 150 postwar buildings, landscapes, and infrastructures built in Manhattan between 1930 and 1980. Some of them are already designated as New York City Landmarks. The majority, recognized by local and national preservation organiza-tions as significant, have not been yet been singled out for protection in a formal designation process.

Twelve buildings, marked by letters A through L and not yet landmarked, deserve special attention for their aesthetic or historical interest as exemplars of twentieth-century design.

The sites on the map are numbered and indexed from north to south, and within that system, from west to east.

JMetropolitan Hotel (Summit Hotel)569 Lexington AvenueMorris Lapidus1961

Morris Lapidus is identified with flamboyant Miami modernism, but his Summit Hotel, just blocks from the strict glass facades of Park Avenue, gave him instant notoriety up north. His slab snakes in a flattened S along 51st Street, adding square footage for 300 extra hotel rooms. The hotel sign juts out over Lexington Avenue in seven back-lit bubbles. The exteriors aqua brick and green tile are a nod to the architects earlier Fountainebleau Hotel (1954) in Miami. The lobby originally continued the tropical color theme and sported Eamesian clear plastic chairs and oversized lamps. Lapidus had to redo it in sober beige and brown for a more conservative New York clientele.

AGeorge Washington Bridge Bus Station4211 BroadwayPier Luigi Nervi1963

One of the Italian architect-engineers first American works, the terminal is at the intersection of a spectacular collection of infrastructural systems, where the George Washington Bridge (Othmar Ammann, 1931) meets the Henry Hudson Parkway, the Eighth Avenue subway, and upper Broadway. Designed to provide easy access to Manhattan for New Jersey commuters, the terminal is utilitarian on the inside. Pier Luigi Nervi poured his structural inventiveness into the roof, which features 26 saw-tooth concrete trusses, half of them raised to allow air to flow into the upper level. The roof is carried on sculpted concrete columns, which spread from narrow bases into protective canopies. A second set of fretwork teeth buttresses the roof on the north and south ends.

BChurch of the Resurrection325 East 101st StreetVictor Lundy1965

Victor Lundy established his architecture practice in Sarasota, Florida, after studying under Walter Gropius at Harvard. He had previous experience designing churches in Florida and Connecticut. For a group of storefront congregations that merged to build a collective house of worship, Lundy designed a small, sculptural, two-story brick church with a wide entrance that gradually narrows into an interior lobby. From the first-floor social hall and administration spaces, a winding ramp leads worshipers to a tall upper-floor sanctuary. The architect originally wanted the entire building to be a sculpture in brick, but because of the building code he had to use standard asphalt shingle for the roof. Built on a block of former tenement dwellings, the church thrived as new housing projects developed around it.

CRockefeller University Expansion Buildings1230 York Avenue between East 64th and 68th streetsHarrison & Abramovitz with Dan Kiley, landscape design1958

Wallace Harrisons expansion of the Beaux-Arts campus of this medical research institute comprises six buildings. Interconnected along a tree-lined mall are Caspary Hall and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Hall, containing offices and visitor facilities. They present a limestone front to York Avenue while opening a glass-and-metal facade to the campuss interior. Linked to them by a bridge is Caspary Auditorium, an eye-catching 90-foot hemisphere; origi-nally tiled blue, it is dotted inside with large acoustical disks. To the north, with views of the East River, is the Presidents House. The low steel-and-stone villa has a curvilinear roof and a transparent court sheltering a small pool. Completing the mall to the south are the Graduate Student Residences, detailed like Caspary/Rockefeller Hall, and the nine-story Detlev W. Bronk Laboratory.

DManhattan House200 East 66th StreetSkidmore, Owings & Merrill and Mayer & Whittlesey1950

Built by New York Life Insurance Company, this enor-mous housing complex of five tower units has approxi-mately 600 apartments stretching between Second and Third avenues. Sitting on a landscaped podium above a parking garage, it takes it cue from Le Corbusiers hous-ing blocks. Its numerous balconies, metal sash windows, and light gray glazed brick give it a refined image along the streets, while setbacks allow for light and air. Al-though gray, it was heralded as the first white brick apart-ment building in New York. Its extensively glazed lobby level blurs distinctions between interior and exterior in signature modernist fashion. New York Life also built the adjacent two-story commercial structure (see C).

EBeekman Theater and commercial block12421258 Second AvenueFellheimer & Wagner with John McNamara as associate architect for the theater and J. M. Berlinger as associate architect for Excelsior Bank1952

Built by New York Life Insurance Company to provide additional retail for apartment residents of Manhattan House (see E), the complex originally contained two banks, an automobile showroom, and the Beekman, an art-film theater. The low-rise horizontal facade with glazed corner, tiled surface, and ribbon windows flaunts its modernist character. Inside, the streamlined lounges lead to a dramatic theater with recessed cove lighting and a sloping ceiling.

FLincoln Center for the Performing ArtsWest 62nd to 66th streets between Columbus and Amsterdam avenuesHarrison & Abramovitz, site plan19621969

Lincoln Center was built to establish New Yorks cultural preeminence and revitalize a slum area. Wallace Harrison drew up the all-star list of architects. To create unity, all structures are travertine and glass. Harrison designed the centerpiece Metropolitan Opera, a box fronted by a thin arched screen. It is framed by Philip Johnsons New York State Theater and Max Abramovitzs Avery Fisher Hall. On the north, the Vivian Beaumont Theater, by Eero Saarinen with Jo Mielziner, faces a reflecting pool; Gordon Bunshafts Lincoln Center Library and Museum wraps around its stage. In 2004 Diller Scofidio + Renfro proposed a redesign for the complexs northern edge, making Pietro Belluschis Juilliard School more transparent and the marble plazas more welcoming.

G2 Columbus Circle (Gallery of Modern Art)Edward Durell Stone1965

Designed as the Gallery of Modern Art to house A & P supermarket heir Huntington Hartfords collection of figurative art, the building was conceived as a deliber-ate counterpoint to the abstraction of the Museum of Modern Art, whose original building Stone also worked on a quarter century earlier. The small, white marble-clad edifice boasts a Venetian-style arcade of lollipop-shaped columns at street level, an arched screen at the upper floors, and porthole windows along its sculptural curve. Inside, it features a lower-level wood-paneled auditorium and vertically organized gallery spaces. Slated for recon-struction to serve as new headquarters for the Museum of American Design, the building is currently embroiled in a design and preservation debate.

HPark AvenueMidtown from 49th to 55th Street

Beginning with icons like Lever House (1952) and the Seagram Building (1956), corporations and speculative developers began to build glass boxes up and down Park Avenue in what came to be known as the postwar or cor-porate International Style. The buildings had ample floor space for the new cadre of white-collar workers and fea-tured amenities like air conditioning and modular offices. Developers like the Uris Brothers built over 40 buildings in the area, many designed by Emery Roth and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Some were 1930s structures reclad with curtain-wall facades. In the 1960s, passageways through buildings, plaza bonuses, and other zoning tricks to give developers maximum return on their investment became common. Today many of these buildings are undertaking revitalization programs, striving to balance modernist aesthetics with the need for upgraded services and environmental systems.

IRockefeller Center Expansion (second stage)1211, 1221, and 1251 Sixth AvenueHarrison, Abramovitz & Harris1973

Better known as the XYZ Buildings, the headquarters for Exxon, McGraw-Hill, and Celanese were originally planned to mimic Rockefeller Centers successful group-ing of office towers and open space, with three slabs in a U formation around a sunken plaza. After this scheme, designed by Max Abramowitz, was rejected, Harrison followed the lead of his own adjacent Time & Life Building (1959), setting back the three slabs from Sixth Avenue. The buildings are linked underground to both the subway and Rockefeller Centers shopping concourses, with glass-walled passages that look out on McGraw-Hills sunken plaza. Behind McGraw-Hill is the developments most successful small space: a midblock oasis with a passage cut through a waterfalla nod to Paley Park (1966) on East 53rd Street.

K Kips Bay Plaza333, 343 East 30th Street and 300, 330 East 33rd StreetI. M. Pei & Associates with S. J. Kessler & Sons1966

This ten-acre site was originally part of Skidmore, Owings & Merrills master plan for New York UniversityBel-levue Medical Complex. Developer William Zeckendorf bought the still-empty property in 1957 and hired Pei to design apartments for the open market. Pei consolidated 1,136 units into two 410-foot-long, 21-story offset slabs, perpendicular to the river and separated by a block-wide open green space. His entirely consistent, crisply detailed concrete-frame structures create urban-scale grandeur. Inside, they allow for generous layouts, although halls are long and apartments deep. The sculpture Pei wanted as a park centerpiece proved too costly, so the plaza has only dwarf trees, unlike at the elegant ensemble he de-signed for New York University, University Village (1966), where a Picasso is installed in the garden.

LChase Manhattan Bank Tower and Plaza1 Chase Manhattan PlazaSkidmore, Owings & Merrill (Gordon Bunshaft, designer); Isamu Noguchi, garden design1960

Gordon Bunshafts third postwar Manhattan skyscraper was to do for downtown what Lever House did for Park Avenue: transform a moribund area into a business center. By combining its real estate into a superblock, the bank created 1.7 million square feet of open-plan office space in a monolithic 812-foot, aluminum-sheathed slab located between Pine, Liberty, Nassau, and William streets. The banking hall is set below grade in a 94,000-square-foot podium. Isamu Noguchi developed a circular fountain to let light and nature into this lower level. In the upper plaza, Jean Dubuffets 42-foot-high Group of Four Trees (1972) stands up to the architecture. Northwest of Chase is Bunshafts landmarked Marine Midland Building (1967), with Noguchis Red Cube (1967).

Institutional Residential Commercial Landmarked buildings are bold.
