312 and 314 East 53rd Street information


314 East 53rd Street (left) and 312 East 53rd Street (right)

312 and 314 East 53rd Street are two wooden row houses on 53rd Street, between First Avenue and Second Avenue, in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The row houses were designed by Robert and James Cunningham with French Second Empire and Italianate details. The houses are two of seven remaining wooden houses on the East Side of Manhattan north of 23rd Street.

The houses both consist of three stories above a raised brick basement. On both houses, the facade of the first story is asymmetrical, with two windows to the left of an entrance doorway. The second story is symmetrical, with two windows, while the mansard roof above both houses has two dormer windows. The interior areas of both houses slightly differ, with number 314 being slightly larger than number 312.

The Cunninghams built the houses between 1865 and 1866 just as new fire codes were enacted in the neighborhood, preventing the construction of new wooden buildings. The houses were likely speculative developments, as neither Cunningham resided at either house. Residents over the years have included New York City Ballet cofounder Lincoln Kirstein, artist Muriel Draper, and dancer Paul Draper at number 312, as well as writer Edmund Wilson at number 314. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated number 312 as a city landmark in 1968. Number 314 was also considered for landmark status in the 1960s but was not similarly designated until 2000.
