Six to Celebrate virtual tour of Audubon Park

The Historic Districts Council (HDC) is the advocate for all of New York City’s historic neighborhoods. Our mission is to ensure the preservation of significant historic neighborhoods, buildings and public spaces in New York City, uphold the integrity of New York City’s Landmarks Law, and further the preservation ethic. Wednesday, August 26, 2020 Long-time Audubon Park resident and HDC Board Adviser, Wayne Benjamin interviews "The Neighborhood Manhattan Forgot: Audubon Park and the Families Who Shaped It" author Matthew Spady. During the discussion Mr. Spady examines the Washington Heights neighborhood of Audubon Park (the interlocking Audubon Terrace and Audubon Park Historic Districts) and how it might have looked very different from the way it does now if events at strategic moments had played out differently. Starting with the current footprint of the neighborhood and working backwards he will explain how Audubon Park got its unusual shape and provide a history based on the streetscape.
