Harrison Street

Harrison Street is a street in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. What we come here to see is the beautifully restored Federal townhouses. They have pitched roofs and dormer windows, making them look like they were a backdrop of a movie set.

The townhouses at Harrison Street were constructed between the late 18th century to the early 19th. One of them were the work of John McComb Jr, New York's first major native-born architect.

The townhouses at Harrison Street were not built in situ. Rather they were moved here from their original location on Washington Street, in order to save them from being pulled down. The Landmarks Preservation Commission stepped in just in time to rescue the buildings.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
