The Audubon Park Historic District is located on five blocks in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It is roughly bounded by West 155th Street to the south, West 158th Street to the north, Broadway and Edward M. Morgan Place to the east and Riverside Drive West to the west. It consists of 19 large apartment buildings and one duplex house, and abuts the Audubon Terrace Historic District on the southeast. It is named for naturalist John James Audubon, who purchased 20 acres of land there in 1841, at a time when the area was still mostly farms, woodland and the country estates of the rich. After his death, the estate was sold off in parcels for development by Audubon's widow, which is when it became known as "Audubon Park".[1]
The area was designated an historic district by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on May 12, 2009.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.[2]
