The city’s earliest buildings were simple, <br /><br />functional structures made of wood and brick. The Dutch influence is evident in <br /><br />buildings like the Wyckoff House (1652), the oldest surviving structure in New <br /><br />York City, which showcases traditional Dutch Colonial design with steep roofs and <br /><br />dormer windows.<br /><br />As the British took over in 1664, Georgian architecture became prevalent. This <br /><br />style emphasized symmetry, proportion, and classical details, as seen in historic <br /><br />structures like Fraunces Tavern (1719).<br /><br /><br /><br />new york architecture<br />new york architecture history<br />new york architecture tour<br />new york architecture lego<br />new york architecture documentary<br />new york architecture photography<br />new york architecture homeless<br />new york architecture school<br />high line new york architecture<br />guggenheim museum new york architecture<br />old new york architecture<br />lego architecture new york city instructions<br />new york city architecture documentary<br />new york university architecture
