Designated in 1974, and expanded in 1993, the Carnegie Hill Historic District is the second largest historic district on the Upper East Side. Named after industrialist Andrew Carnegie – who constructed his elaborate mansion on Fifth Avenue and East 91st Street in 1901 – it remains one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods. The area is characterized by a rich mixture of freestanding residences, intact rows of townhouses, and stately apartment buildings. Its rare architectural integrity is enhanced by a sloping terrain, making for a delightfully distinctive urban experience. Bernie Cohen, of Bernie’s New York Walking Tours, will lead this tour of spectacular architecture along New York City’s “Gold Coast.”
