Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District, Federal style historic district in Lower Manhattan, United States.

The Charlton-King-Vandam district contains several blocks of Federal and Greek Revival row houses between Sixth Avenue and Varick Street.

The area originated from the Richmond Hill estate, where George Washington established his headquarters during the American Revolution in 1767.

The district maintains the largest concentration of Federal style row houses in New York City, representing early 19th-century residential architecture.

Visitors can explore three main streets - Charlton, King, and Vandam - which showcase different architectural periods from 1820 to 1890.

Former Public School 8, designed by David Skagg in 1886, stands as a Queen Anne style building converted into residential spaces.
