312 and 314 East 53rd Street, Twin terrace houses in Turtle Bay, Manhattan, United States
The two wooden structures at 312 and 314 East 53rd Street feature three stories with mansard roofs and two dormer windows on each building.
Built between 1865 and 1866 by Robert and James Cunningham, these houses were completed just before New York City prohibited wooden building construction.
Lincoln Kirstein, founder of the New York City Ballet, and writer Edmund Wilson lived in these houses during the early 20th century.
Located between First and Second Avenue, each house occupies a lot of 1,807 square feet with a frontage of 18 feet along 53rd Street.
These residences represent the last remaining wooden structures on Manhattan's East Side north of 23rd Street, combining French Second Empire and Italianate architectural elements.
