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.

How to reach Harrison Street

Take the 1 train to the Franklin Street subway station. Walk west on Franklin Street until intersection with Hudson Street. Turn left and walk south down Hudson street until you reach the intersection with Harrison Street on the right.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
