Audubon Terrace

About

Audubon Terrace is a cultural complex comprising eight buildings in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, New York City, United States. The complex occupies most of a city block and is bounded by Broadway to the east, 155th Street to the south, and 156th Street to the north. Developed for several cultural institutions between 1904 and 1930, Audubon Terrace was commissioned by Archer Milton Huntington. The complex is designated a New York City landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The buildings, designed in the Beaux Arts and American Renaissance styles, are arranged in two parallel rows surrounding a multi-tiered plaza. Archer's cousin Charles P. Huntington drew up the master plan for the site and designed the initial buildings. The later structures were designed by William M. Kendall, Cass Gilbert, and H. Brooks Price. The buildings have similar exterior architectural design details such as colonnades and elaborate entablatures. The complex also contains artwork by Archer's wife Anna Hyatt Huntington.
