Fort Washington is a neighborhood of exceptionally fine apartment buildings from the 1920s and 1930s. This tour will examine the impact that speculative builders and their architects had on apartment design and construction, with a special focus on two of New York City’s finest apartment complexes — Hudson View Gardens and Castle Village. We will also discuss the many Art Deco buildings in the neighborhood. The tour will not only explore the architecture of the neighborhood but will also look at the area’s social history as immigrants, especially holocaust survivors, settled there.
2025 is also the 90th anniversary of Fort Tryon Park. The tour led by Andrew Scott Dolkart a founding members of Fort Washington Historic District Task Force, will begin with a walk through a portion of the park designed by Olmsted Brothers on the skeleton of an old estate.
