Houses at 208–218 East 78th Street, Renaissance Revival terrace houses in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States

The six attached brick rowhouses at 208-218 East 78th Street feature round-arched windows and door openings on their front facades with keystone molding decorations.

Built between 1861 and 1865, these houses represented affordable housing options during the initial development phase of Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood.

The buildings reflect the architectural preferences of mid-19th century New York City with their Italianate style elements and symmetrical front designs.

Each three-story house measures approximately 13 feet 4 inches in width and includes a raised basement with iron-railed stoops leading to the entrance.

These residences stand as the remaining segment of 15 original buildings, receiving landmark status in 1978 and National Register listing in 1983.
