Audubon Terrace (also known as the Audubon Terrace Historic District) is a group of eight early-20th century Beaux Arts/American Renaissance[1] buildings in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, in New York City, United States. The complex is bounded by Broadway to the east, 155th Street to the south, and 156th Street to the north. Home to several cultural institutions, the architecturally complementary buildings, which take up most of a city block, are arranged in two parallel rows facing each other across a common plaza. The complex is directly across 155th Street from Trinity Church Cemetery.
Although the 157th Street station on the New York City Subway's 1 train is one block away, the complex's location considerably north of Midtown Manhattan has resulted in a perceived detriment to easy access for visitors.[4] The complex was designated a New York City landmark in 1979,[2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[3]
