Constructed over a period of more than 60 years, the buildings along Astor
Street reflect the fashionable styles favored by their original
residents. The numerous 19th-century houses, which are designed in a
variety of historical revival styles, are interspersed with apartment
buildings and townhouses from the 20th century, forming a unique
reminder of the city's history. Today, the district is surrounded by
highrise residential buildings, generally constructed from 1960-80. |
