Книга: 86th Street (Manhattan)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 86th Street is a major two-way street in the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan. On the West Side its continuous cliff-wall of apartment blocks is broken by two contrasting landmarked churches at prominent corner sites, the Tuscan Renaissance Saints Paul and Andrew United Methodist Church at the corner of West End Avenue, and the rusticated brownstone Romanesque Revival West-Park Presbyterian Church at the corner of Amsterdam Avenue. Until the years following World War II, Yorkville on the East Side was a predominantly German community, and East 86th Street was nicknamed the German Broadway. The early settlement originally clustered around the 86th Street stop of the New York and Harlem Railroad.
