Stuyvesant Apartments, Gothic Revival residential building in Manhattan, United States
The Stuyvesant Apartments features five floors with pointed arches, detailed stonework, and vertical lines following the Gothic Revival architectural pattern.
Built in 1870 by architect Richard Morris Hunt, this structure marked a milestone as the first apartment building in New York City with private toilets.
Early residents included Central Park designer Calvert Vaux, artist Worthington Whittredge, poet Bayard Taylor, and Libby Custer, widow of General Custer.
Each floor contained four apartments with three bedrooms, a parlor, a servant's room, a bathroom, and a kitchen for comfortable family living.
The building's French-inspired communal courtyard design, studied by Rutherford Stuyvesant in Paris, introduced a new residential concept to New York City.
