Sylvan Terrace is a Great example of early New York rental housing development adjacent to the Morris-Jumel Mansion. As the urban city expanded northwards (from Battery Park), the need to affordable rental housing also grew. This street has facing examples of those very early rental apartments, which managed to service to this day. Visiting this street at the same time as the Morris-Jumel Mansion is a good outing.

This is a perfectly intact street of wooden row homes. It is surprising to see in Manhattan. Not far from U tied Palace or Columbia Presbyterian Hospital

Some of the oldest wooden houses of nyc still inhabited. Built in the late 1800s. This great cobble stone alley will lead you to the Morris Jumel Mansion where George Wahsington lived for a few months during the revolutionary war 1776. A wealthy French Wine merchant Maurice Jumel bought it after that.
This street gives you a great sense of what the neighborhood looked like back in time. You can see the European influence with the outside shades.
Worth the trip to Upper Harlem to discover this gem.
