Description

On the east side of Midtown Manhattan, next to the United Nations, sits the massive apartment complex Tudor City.

An architectural masterpiece created by developer Fred F.

French during the Roaring Twenties, Tudor City was the first residential skyscraper complex in the world.

It brought middle-class lifestyle to center city. Tudor City has parks, shops and restaurants and even once had a mini-golf course.

Developers and preservationists battled over the site in the 1970s and 1980s, with a notable cast of characters including Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Mayor John Lindsay and Representative Ed Koch.

The city designated the area a historic district. Author and resident Lawrence R. Samuel charts the ninety-year history of New York's Tudor City.
