Morningside Heights, located on a high plateau between Morningside and Riverside Parks, was hard to access until the late 19th century, and was sparsely developed except for the Bloomingdale and Leake and Watts asylums. Morningside Heights, along with the Upper West Side, was considered part of the Bloomingdale District until Morningside Park was finished in the late 19th century. Large-scale development started in the 1890s with the construction of academic and cultural institutions. By the 1900s, the construction of public transportation and the neighborhood's first subway line led to Morningside Heights being developed into a residential neighborhood. Morningside Heights was mostly developed by the 1930s. During the mid-20th century, as the institutions within Morningside Heights expanded, cultural tensions grew between the two groups. After a period of decline, the neighborhood started to gentrify in the 1980s and 1990s.

A large portion of Morningside Heights is part of the campus of Columbia University, a private Ivy League research university that also owns much of the neighborhood's off-campus real estate. Morningside Heights contains numerous other educational institutions such as Teachers College, Barnard College, the Manhattan School of Music, Bank Street College of Education, Union Theological Seminary, and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Additionally, Morningside Heights includes several religious institutions, including the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Riverside Church, the Church of Notre Dame, Corpus Christi Church, and Interchurch Center. The neighborhood also contains other architectural landmarks, such as St. Luke's Hospital (now Mount Sinai Morningside) and Grant's Tomb.

Morningside Heights is part of Manhattan Community District 9.[1] It is patrolled by the 26th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. Fire services are provided by the New York City Fire Department's Engine Company 47 and Engine Company 37/Ladder Company 40. Politically it is represented by the New York City Council's 7th District.

History

Precolonial and colonial period

Initially, Manhattan was settled by the Lenape Native Americans,[4] who referred to the area nearby as "Muscota" or "Muscoota", meaning "place of rushes".[5][6][7][8] The nearest Native American settlements were Rechewanis and Konaande Kongh in present-day Central Park, to the southeast of modern Morningside Heights.[9][10][11] Additionally, a Native American path in the area was adapted into part of modern-day Riverside Drive. However, the region remained relatively hard to access because of the steep topography.[9] Prior to the beginning of the 18th century, most travel within modern New York City was made via water, since there were few roads in the region.[12]

Dutch settlers occupied Manhattan in the early 17th century and called the nearby area "Vredendal", meaning "peaceful dale".[5] The western boundary of New Harlem was drawn through the present-day Morningside Park in 1666, running from 74th Street at the East River to 124th Street at the North River (now Hudson River) on the neighborhood's western edge.[6][13] The area to the west of the boundary, present-day Morningside Heights, was originally the common lands of British-occupied New York.[6][14][15] In 1686, New York colonial governor Thomas Dongan granted the city of New York the patent to a triangular area between West 107th to 124th Streets, extending west to the Hudson River.[9] The city sold the land to Jacob De Key in 1701.[9][16][17] An easy connection to the rest of the modern-day city was made two years later, when Bloomingdale Road[lower-alpha 1] (modern-day Broadway) was extended north from Lower Manhattan to 117th Street.[9][12] Harman Vandewater acquired part of the De Key farm by 1735,[6][14][15] and it was called Vandewater Heights by 1738.[5]

On September 16, 1776, the Battle of Harlem Heights was fought in the area, with the most intense fighting occurring in a sloping wheat field that is now the location of Barnard College. A plaque by the Columbia University gate on 117th Street and Broadway commemorates this battle.[19] Vandewater Heights was sold by 1785 to James W. De Peyster.[6][15] His brother, Nicholas De Peyster, bought the land directly to the west, along the shoreline.[12]

19th-century development
Bloomingdale Insane Asylum circa 1831

Though a grid for Manhattan Island would be laid out in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811,[6] the present-day Morningside Heights would remain sparsely developed for the next half-century with the exception of the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum and the Leake and Watts Orphan Asylum.[20][21] The Society for New York Hospital had started buying lots between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues north of 113th Street in 1816, and opened the Bloomingdale Asylum in 1821.[21][18] Leake and Watts Services purchased the Society's land east of Amsterdam Avenue between 110th and 113th Streets in 1834,[21][22][23] and Ithiel Town's design for the Leake and Watts Asylum was completed in 1843.[22][23][24] In addition, the Croton Aqueduct ran above ground through the modern neighborhood, opening in 1842.[25]

Through the late 19th century, Bloomingdale Road was the only connection to the rest of Manhattan.[21] A stagecoach line along Bloomingdale Road, founded in 1819, was expanded to modern Morningside Heights and Manhattanville four years later.[21][26] Mansions were developed on the shore, and William Dixon erected small wood-frame houses on 110th Street, which would be referred to as "Dixonville".[21][27] In 1846, the Hudson River Railroad (later the West Side Line and Hudson Line) was built along the Hudson River waterfront, connecting New York City to Albany.[28][29]

By an act of the New York State Legislature passed in 1865, the commissioners of Central Park had the responsibility of executing the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 within Upper Manhattan.[28] The same year, Central Park commissioner William R. Martin put forth the first proposal for a park and scenic road along the Hudson River, which later became Riverside Park and Riverside Drive.[28][29][30] On the opposite side of the modern-day neighborhood, to the east, Central Park commissioner Andrew Haswell Green proposed Morningside Park in 1867 to avoid the expense of expanding the Manhattan street grid across extremely steep terrain.[5][31][32] Landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted was hired for both projects:[21] he designed Riverside Drive and Park in 1873–1875,[31][33] and he co-designed Morningside Park with Calvert Vaux in 1873,[31][34][35] with further revisions to the latter in 1887.[36] The section of Riverside Drive and Park in the Bloomingdale District was completed by 1880,[37][38] while Morningside Park was completed in 1895.[5]

Until 1903, the Ninth Avenue elevated bypassed Morningside Heights (depicted in background)

Though several other infrastructure improvements were made, development in the region above 110th Street was slow until the 1890s.[39] Broadway, a wide avenue with medians, opened in 1868 as the "Boulevard" and replaced the former Bloomingdale Road.[39] New pipes for the Croton Aqueduct were laid in 1865, and a still-extant gatehouse at 113th Street was erected later.[31] Plans to relocate the Bloomingdale Asylum were considered as early as 1870, but the Panic of 1873 stalled any additional planning for the rest of the decade.[40] The Ninth Avenue elevated was extended north from the Bloomingdale District to Harlem in 1879,[40][41] but its route largely skipped the highlands north of 110th Street, as its route shifted eastward at 110th Street.[39][42] An elevated station at 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue was not opened until 1903,[42][43] and even then, it was hard to access due to the steep topography.[42] Thus, while the Upper West Side to the south and Hamilton Heights to the north were developed with row houses by the 1880s, the intervening area had almost no new development.[40] The Real Estate Record and Guide stated that it was "difficult to explore the region without a guide" because of the lack of development there.[44]

1890s through 1930s

In 1886, real estate figures and politicians started advocating for the relocation of both asylums in the neighborhood.[39][42] The Bloomingdale Asylum moved to a site in suburban Westchester County in 1888, followed by the Leake and Watts Asylum three years later. Their respective campuses were purchased by Columbia University, which could not expand their existing campus at the present site of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan; and the Episcopal Diocese of New York, which had been looking for sites to build their main cathedral, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.[39][45] Several other institutions were soon constructed in the area, including St. Luke's Hospital, Barnard College, Teachers College, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and Union Theological Seminary.[39]

New name and first residential buildings
Morningside Park, which was the neighborhood's namesake

In the 1890s, following Morningside Park's completion, several figures began advocating for the use of the name "Morningside Heights" for the region between 110th and 125th Streets. The name "Bloomingdale" was also used for the area around the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. However, other names such as "Morningside Hill" and "Riverside Heights" were used for the area.[46] When construction started on Columbia University, Teachers College, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and St. Luke's Hospital in the mid-1890s, no single name was commonly used for the neighborhood.[47] Two names eventually gained the most use; "Morningside Heights" was preferred by the two colleges, while "Cathedral Heights" was preferred by St. John's and St. Luke's. After about 1898, "Morningside Heights" became the most generally accepted, although the diocese at St. John's continued to call the neighborhood "Cathedral Heights" well into the 20th century.[48]

Additionally, Manhattan's population was growing rapidly, exceeding one million in 1890.[49] Speculative developers, hoping to cater to Morningside Heights' institutions and Manhattan's increasing population, started erecting the first row houses in the area in 1892–1893. These early buildings were designed in the Colonial, Georgian, or Renaissance Revival styles, in contrast to the architecture of the older row houses in nearby neighborhoods. These developers saw mixed success: while some houses sold quickly, others languished for a decade or were foreclosed.[50][51] The Morningside Protective Association, established in 1896,[52] unsuccessfully attempted to limit the proliferation of low-rise development.[49][53] The first tenements in Morningside Heights were built toward the end of the 1890s and were among the only Old Law Tenements built in the neighborhood.[49]

Academic Acropolis development

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Amsterdam Avenue between 110th and 113th Streets, had been the first institution to commit to building in Morningside Heights.[54] However, construction proceeded very slowly: the first portion of the cathedral did not open until 1911,[55] and the cathedral remained incomplete a century later.[56] Nonetheless, its presence led other institutions to move to the neighborhood.[54] The first of these was St. Luke's Hospital, which in 1892 purchased the site directly north of the cathedral as a direct result of influence from cathedral secretary George Macculloch Miller.[57][58] Built to designs by Ernest Flagg, the first five pavilions in the hospital opened in 1896,[59][60][61] with three additional pavilions being added later.[60][62] Next was the Woman's Hospital at Amsterdam Avenue and 110th Street, which was designed by Frederick R. Allen of Allen & Collens and completed in 1906. While the three projects led to Morningside Heights being known as an "Academic Acropolis", they did not significantly alter the character of the neighborhood.[63]

Low Library

By the late 1890s and early 1900s, Morningside Heights' academic institutions were growing rapidly. The most prominent of these was Columbia University, whose president Seth Low had commissioned Charles Follen McKim of the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White to design the new Morningside Heights campus in 1893.[64][65] The plan consisted of 15 buildings and a South Court on the east side of Broadway between 116th and 120th Streets, centered around the university's major library, Low Memorial Library.[66] The Low Library was constructed between 1895 and 1897,[67][68] along with most of the other original structures,[69] and the first classes at the new campus were held in October 1897.[69][70][71] Several campus expansions occurred shortly afterward, including Earl Hall in 1902;[72][73] the first dormitories, Hartley Hall and Livingston Hall, in 1905;[74] the South Field, purchased in 1903;[75][76] St. Paul's Chapel, completed in 1907;[77][78] and numerous classrooms and other buildings.[79] Columbia's presence in Morningside Heights led to a significant change in the neighborhood's character.[63]

Just across Broadway to the west was the campus of Barnard College, a women's college. In 1895, philanthropist Elizabeth Milbank Anderson donated funds on the condition that Charles A. Rich was hired to design the campus.[80] Before funds ran out, Rich ultimately designed the Milbank, Brinckerhoff, and Fiske Halls, which held their first classes in October 1897.[71][80][81] Immediately north was Teachers College, which became affiliated with Columbia University in 1893 and merged with the latter in 1897.[82] The buildings for this campus were designed by William Appleton Potter.[82][83] The first structure in the complex, Main Hall, was completed in late 1894; the last, Milbank Memorial Hall, was finished three years later.[84] Both Barnard and Teachers Colleges saw rapid growth in the early 20th century.[85][86] Only three structures were built for the former, resulting in overcrowding;[lower-alpha 2] by contrast, numerous large facilities were erected for the latter, including a gymnasium, manual arts building, household arts building, and dormitories.[88]

Other institutions of higher education on Morningside Heights were developed in the early 20th century, the first of which was the new campus of the Union Theological Seminary between Broadway and Claremont Avenue from 120th to 122nd Streets. The campus was composed of several Gothic Revival structures, designed by architects Allen & Collens and arranged around a quadrangle.[89][90] The structures were completed by 1910,[70][90][91] and expanded soon after with the construction of the Stone Gym in 1912 (now part of Riverside Church),[91] and a dormitory on Claremont Avenue erected in 1931–1932.[92] Two musical institutions, the Institute of Musical Art and the Juilliard School (which later merged[93]), settled immediately north of the Union Theological Seminary.[94] The Institute of Musical Art constructed its building within 21 weeks in 1910 and had its first classes that same year.[70][94][95] The Juilliard building was completed in 1931.[93][96] The final structure to be built was the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, across Broadway to the east of Juilliard, whose buildings were completed in 1930.[97][98] Riverside Church, to the west of the Union Theological Seminary, was completed the same year.[99][100]

Apartment developments and subway construction

In the first decade of the 20th century, there was still little residential development, and a small concentration of beer gardens began to develop around the "Dixonville" on 110th Street.[27] The New York State Tenement House Act of 1901 drastically changed the regulations to which tenement buildings had to conform.[101][102] To fit these new regulations, the architects of the different developments drew up several general plans to maximize the amount of floor space in each building, while also ensuring every residential unit had windows that faced either a courtyard or the street. The more common plans included "L", "I", "O", or "U"-shaped designs.[101][103] Several buildings were erected close to Broadway in anticipation of the construction of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company's first subway line (now part of the New York City Subway's Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, serving the 1 train). These buildings contained features that were considered innovative at the time, such as electric lighting, soundproofed and parquet floors, tiled bathrooms with porcelain fixtures, and long-distance telephone lines.[101][104] Since the character of the neighborhood had not yet been developed, early-1900s apartment buildings tended to be erected "modestly", with little ornamentation.[101]

The subway opened in October 1904 with stations at 110th, 116th, and 125th Streets, providing a direct connection to Lower Manhattan, the city's economic center at the time.[42][101][105] In the years immediately following, developers began to erect larger buildings for the middle-class, as such developments had been made feasible due to their proximity to the subway.[106] Between 1903 and 1911, at least 75 apartment buildings were built in the neighborhood.[101] By 1906, there were 27 such developments underway, though this included structures whose construction started prior to the passage of the 1901 law.[107] According to a Real Estate Record and Guide article published in August 1906, Morningside Heights had turned into New York City's "most distinctive high-class apartment house quarter".[44][107] Units on Riverside Drive, despite being further from the subway, were generally more expensive because of their riverfront views.[107]

Jewish and Italian developers had a large influence in early-20th century development in Morningside Heights.[108] For instance, the Italian-American Paterno brothers, along with their brothers-in-law, built The Paterno, The Colosseum, and several other large apartment buildings in the area.[109][110] Two members of the family, Michael Paterno and Victor Cerabone, also started their own firms and built structures in Morningside Heights.[111][112][113] The majority of Morningside Heights developers were Jewish, although most of these Jewish developers created only a few buildings.[114] More prolific Jewish developers in Morningside Heights usually created companies with their family names, or formed businesses with names that hid their background. Such developers included Carlyle Realty, B. Crystal & Son, and Carnegie Construction.[113][114] According to Andrew Dolkart, architectural historian at Columbia University, more than half of the early apartment housing in Morningside Heights was developed by one of three firms: George Pelham, Neville & Bagge, or Schwartz & Gross.[115] After World War I, the remaining empty lots were bought and developed.[116][117]

By the 1920s, the neighborhood's character had been fully established.[118][119] In addition to apartment buildings, Morningside Heights contained commercial ventures, though these were mainly confined to low-rise buildings on the north–south avenues.[119] Through the 1930s, many residents were white and middle-class. The heads of these families included professionals like academics, engineers, doctors, and lawyers, as well as businesspersons who worked in industries such as the garment trade.[116]

Mid- to late 20th century

Demographic changes
The area, circa 1926

As early as 1930, the neighborhood was undergoing major demographic changes, and the newcomers included middle-class families who were not necessarily part of any institution.[118][120] This resulted in a split between the two main groups that inhabited Morningside Heights—those who were affiliated with institutions and those who were not—setting up conflicts between the two demographic groups.[120]

As a response to the Great Depression, many of the apartments had been subdivided into smaller units, with residents frequently dividing their apartments or taking in boarders, or owners converting their buildings to single room occupancy (SRO) hotels.[118][121] The increasing prevalence of SROs led to attendant socioeconomic problems and a decline in the neighborhood, especially after World War II, when many well-off white residents left for the suburbs, to be replaced by poor African American and Puerto Rican residents. Many of the once-opulent apartment buildings declined in quality.[121] In a sign of the social tensions that had developed in Morningside Heights, in 1958, The New York Times reported that midshipmen of the United States Navy studying at Columbia were forbidden from the area bounded by Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue, and 110th and 113th Streets, where there were reported to be high concentrations of prostitutes.[122] Two years later, the Times called the formerly opulent Hendrik Hudson apartment building "one of the city's worst slum buildings", with several hundred building and health code violations.[123][124] By 1961, there were 33 SROs in the neighborhood.[125]

Urban renewal
Grant Houses, one of the redevelopment projects in Morningside Heights in the 1950s

In 1947, fourteen major institutions in the neighborhood formed Morningside Heights Inc, an urban renewal organization that aimed to reduce poverty and segregation by erecting new housing.[118][123] Morningside Heights Inc., headed by David Rockefeller, was the first major joint venture between the neighborhood's institutions.[123] Its first project was Morningside Gardens, a middle-income co-op apartment complex between 123rd and LaSalle Streets, Broadway, and Amsterdam Avenue. The project, completed in 1957, was initially occupied by a multi-racial tenant base of just under a thousand families, a third of whom worked at neighborhood institutions.[126] Morningside Gardens drew some opposition, as it replaced an eclectic group of low- and mid-rise housing that was occupied by about 6,000 people, mostly African Americans.[126][127]

Another development in the neighborhood was Grant Houses, a New York City Housing Authority public-housing development located to the east of Morningside Gardens, across Amsterdam Avenue.[128] Completed in 1956,[129] it was less successful in racial integration[128] but was praised by local landlords as a deterrent to urban decay.[130] The construction of Grant Houses necessitated the displacement of 7,000 residents.[131]

The New York Times described the urban renewal scheme in 1957 as "the biggest face-lifting job under way in this city".[132] Prior to the urban renewal projects, most institutions in Morningside Heights considered its northern boundary to be around 122nd Street, but with the completion of these developments, the area between 122nd and 125th Street was added to the popular definition of Morningside Heights.[126]

Institutional expansion

Three institutions opened or moved into Morningside Heights during the late 1950s and early 1960s.[133] These were the Interchurch Center, opened in 1960;[133][134] the Bank Street College of Education, which announced its intention to move to the area in 1964;[135][136] and St. Hilda's & St. Hugh's School, which relocated from Manhattan Valley and Morningside Heights in 1967.[135][137] Columbia assisted with the latter two additions, since it was interested in making Morningside Heights into a desirable place for its faculty to send their children to primary school.[135] Within the existing campuses of neighborhood institutions, two St. Luke's Hospital pavilions were demolished and replaced in the 1950s and 1960s,[133] and a new office wing at Riverside Church opened in 1959.[138][139]

Social tensions began to develop as many of the area's institutions began to expand into the surrounding neighborhood.[133] The newer buildings had architecture that was described as bland, as contrasted to the simultaneous expansions of other Ivy League communities, which were constructing structures with more distinctive designs.[133][140][lower-alpha 3] Through the 1960s, Columbia University, Barnard College, and other institutions purchased several dozen buildings in Morningside Heights, leading to accusations of forced eviction and gentrification.[118][125] Many residential buildings were converted to institutional use, while others were demolished to make way for new institutional buildings,[141] such as Columbia University's East Campus.[142] The process involved demolishing some of the SROs, which were mostly occupied by racial minorities and did not have rent regulation.[125] Likewise, while apartment buildings were rent-regulated, many units were subject to "affiliation clauses" that extended tenancy only to members of the academic institutions within Morningside Heights.[141] Protests against such clauses continued through the late 1970s.[143]

The conflicts peaked in 1968, when protests arose in Columbia's campus and the surrounding neighborhood over the university's proposal to build a gym in Morningside Park,[144] which would have created separate entrances in mostly-white Morningside Heights and mostly-black Harlem.[145] The university abandoned the plan the next year.[146] Two other major plans were proposed but not built after objections from the community: a proposed expansion of the Interchurch Center,[147][148] and a nursing home on Amsterdam Avenue between 111th and 112th Streets.[147] There were even disputes between the city and Columbia University: the city had proposed erecting 1,000 apartments on Riverside Drive,[149] but Columbia objected because it would have precluded the university's ability to build a proposed western campus.[150] In 1970, I. M. Pei was hired to create a new plan for Columbia's expansion on the South Field,[151][152] though only one portion of Pei's plan was ever built.[152]

1970s to 1990s
From the Hudson River

In the 1970s, as crimes increased in the city in general, institutional leaders in Morningside Heights raised concerns about safety and security.[153] Meanwhile, Columbia University continued to expand its presence in the neighborhood. By the late 1970s, one in five apartment buildings in Morningside Heights were owned by Columbia,[154] and by the 1980s, it was the neighborhood's largest landlord.[155] In 1979, a Barnard College student was killed by masonry that had fallen from a building owned by Columbia.[156] In the subsequent years, new building codes resulted in the removal of decorative elements on many buildings in the neighborhood.[152]

The residential community of Morningside Heights remained centered around the neighboring institutions, and was relatively safe compared to nearby neighborhoods, though many residents stayed away from Morningside Park. A 1982 Times article mentioned that Broadway was seeing many new "restaurants and boutiques" that had replaced "dusty shops and fast-food counters".[157] By 1987, Morningside Heights was much safer compared to fifteen years prior, with Broadway being redeveloped as a fashionable shopping district.[158] Much of this effort was undertaken by Columbia, which sought to improve its reputation among the surrounding community.[155]

Columbia started to restore several of its buildings in the 1990s, and it continued to expand into Morningside Heights.[159] By the end of the decade, there were only 50 apartment buildings between 110th and 122nd Streets that were not owned by the university.[152] Other structures were also built in Morningside Heights, including Barnard's Sulzberger Hall.[160] Morningside Park, which received a series of renovations in the 1980s and 1990s, was no longer considered to be as dangerous by the beginning of the 21st century.[161] Despite its redevelopment, the neighborhood still retained some of its working-class character, mostly because of Columbia's affiliation-clause policy, leading the Times to say in 1993 that Morningside Heights "has practically escaped yuppification".[162] Housing prices started to increase rapidly in the late 1990s. A 1999 Times article mentioned that though there were still tensions between residents and institutions, these conflicts had subsided somewhat, with institutions being more receptive to feedback from residents.[163]

21st century

In the late 1990s, some businesses in the area started labeling Morningside Heights and southern Harlem with the name SoHa (for "South Harlem" or "South of Harlem"), as seen in the names of Max's SoHa restaurant and the former SoHa nightclub in Morningside Heights.[46][164] "SoHa" has become a controversial name, having been used by the real estate industry and other individuals gentrifying the area between West 110th and 125th Streets.[165][166][167] One critic called the SoHa name "insulting and another sign of gentrification run amok",[168] while another said that "the rebranding not only places their neighborhood's rich history under erasure but also appears to be intent on attracting new tenants, including students from nearby Columbia University."[169] The controversy later led to proposals for legislation that would limit neighborhood rebranding citywide.[169]

By the 2010s, new developments were being built amid several of Morningside Heights' preexisting institutions.[170] For instance, two residential buildings had been erected on the cathedral close of St. John the Divine;[171][172] part of the old St. Luke's Hospital was being converted into apartments;[173] and the Union and Jewish Theological Seminaries had sold the rights to build apartments on their campuses. However, the neighborhood still retained a reputation for being relatively affordable, with per-foot housing prices being lower than in nearby neighborhoods.[170] In 2017, part of Morningside Heights was protected as part of the Morningside Heights Historic District.[174]

Demographics

Based on data from the 2010 United States Census, the population of Morningside Heights was 55,929, an increase of 1,721 (3.2%) from the 54,208 counted in the 2000 Census. Covering an area of 465.11 acres (188.22 ha), the neighborhood had a population density of 120.2 inhabitants per acre (76,900/sq mi; 29,700/km2).[175] The racial makeup of the neighborhood was 46.0% (25,750) White, 13.6% (7,619) African American, 0.2% (105) Native American, 13.3% (7,462) Asian, 0.1% (30) Pacific Islander, 0.4% (203) from other races, and 2.9% (1,605) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 23.5% (13,155) of the population.[3]

The entirety of Manhattan Community District 9, which encompasses Morningside Heights, Manhattanville, and Hamilton Heights, had 111,287 inhabitants as of NYC Health's 2018 Community Health Profile, with an average life expectancy of 81.4 years.[177]:2, 20 This is about the same as the median life expectancy of 81.2 for all New York City neighborhoods.[178]:53 (PDF p. 84) Most residents are children and middle-aged adults: 34% are between the ages of 25–44, while 21% are between 45–64, and 17% are between 0–17. The ratio of college-aged and elderly residents was lower, at 16% and 12% respectively.[177]:2

As of 2017, the median household income in Community District 9 was $50,048,[179] though the median income in Morningside Heights individually was $81,890.[2] In 2018, an estimated 24% of Community District 9 residents lived in poverty, compared to 14% in all of Manhattan and 20% in all of New York City. One in twelve residents (8%) were unemployed, compared to 7% in Manhattan and 9% in New York City.

Land use and terrain

Morningside Heights is located in Upper Manhattan,[180] bounded by Morningside Park to the east, 125th Street to the north, 110th Street to the south, and Riverside Park to the west.[181][182] The neighborhood is zoned primarily for high-rise apartment buildings, though ground-floor stores are also present on Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.[183] In practice, much of the neighborhood is composed of structures for the neighborhood's religious or academic institutions.[184]

Residential stock

The residential stock of Morningside Heights is composed of apartment buildings, many of which survive from the neighborhood's early-20th century wave of development.[185] While many of the original apartments have been subdivided, numerous original five- to seven-bedroom units remain.[162] Two of the more distinctive apartment structures are The Colosseum and The Paterno, at 116th Street and Riverside Drive, whose curved facades are the only evidence of a never-built large plaza that would have flanked Riverside Drive.[186] Another notable apartment building is the Hendrik Hudson on Riverside Drive between 110th and 111th Streets, proposed as a hotel but ultimately constructed as a residential building.[187][188]

The northern part of the neighborhood is dominated by two residential complexes: Grant Houses and Morningside Gardens. Grant Houses, a public-housing development composed of ten buildings is located on the south side of 125th Street, on two superblocks between Broadway and Morningside Avenue, with the site being bisected by Amsterdam Avenue.[128][189] The six-building Morningside Gardens co-op is located directly southwest of the Grant Houses superblocks and is bounded by 123rd and LaSalle Streets, Broadway, and Amsterdam Avenue.[126][190]

Architectural landmarks

Official landmarks
Grant's Tomb

Several sites in Morningside Heights have been designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission as official city landmarks and/or are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[78][191] The Cathedral of St. John the Divine and its six-building cathedral close, on Amsterdam Avenue between 110th and 113th Streets, was designated by the city as an official landmark in 2017.[192] Riverside Church, on Riverside Drive between 120th and 122nd Streets, is both a city landmark and NRHP site,[193][194] as is the Church of Notre Dame at Morningside Drive and 114th Street.[195][191]

Non-religious official landmarks in Morningside Heights include Grant's Tomb, a mausoleum for U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia Grant. The tomb, located in the middle of Riverside Drive at 122nd Street, is a city landmark, a NRHP site, and a national memorial.[191][196][197] The Plant and Scrymser pavilions at Mount Sinai Morningside, located on Morningside Drive between 113th and 114th Streets, were built in 1904–1906 and 1926–1928 respectively, and are recognized as city and NRHP landmarks.[198][191][199]

Numerous academic buildings in Morningside Heights contain a city or national landmark designation. On the Columbia campus, these sites include Low Memorial Library, a National Historic Landmark as well as a city-designated interior and exterior landmark.[200][201][202] Other NRHP sites on the Columbia campus include Philosophy Hall, where FM radio was invented;[203] Pupin Hall, a National Historic Landmark where the first experiments on the fission of uranium were conducted by Enrico Fermi;[204] and Casa Italiana on the East Campus, which is also a city landmark.[205][206] St. Paul's Chapel is designated as a city landmark but not as a national landmark.[207] On the Barnard campus, NRHP-listed sites include Students' Hall;[208] Brooks and Hewitt Halls;[209] and Milbank, Brinckerhoff, and Fiske Halls.[210] The Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter building on Riverside Drive is also listed on the NRHP.[211] Additionally, the Union Theological Seminary complex is listed on the NRHP, and parts of the structure are also a city-designated landmark.[90][191]

113th Street Gatehouse

There are several traces of the old Croton Aqueduct's path through Morningside Heights, specifically under Amsterdam Avenue. Due to the presence of the 125th Street valley at the northern border of the neighborhood, the aqueduct descended into a deep level alignment, with the water being pushed through high-pressure open siphons at each end of the valley. Several gatehouses were built at Amsterdam Avenue and 113th, 119th, 134th-135th, and 142nd Streets, so that pipes could be installed when the aqueduct system was expanded in the future.[212] The gatehouse at 113th Street was built in 1870[31] and rebuilt in 1890; it serves as an adult day care center as of 2010.[198] The gatehouse at 119th Street, a city landmark, was rebuilt in 1894–1895, replacing an earlier gatehouse in the middle of the road.[213][214] The aqueduct continued to carry water until 1955. The 119th Street gatehouse was used until 1990;[215] it then sat abandoned for several decades before being proposed for commercial use in 2018.[214]

Historic district

In 2017, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission created the Morningside Heights Historic District.[174] The district had first been proposed in 1996; however, Columbia was opposed to such a designation, which would have limited the university's flexibility as a landlord in Morningside Heights.[216] The district includes 115 residential and institutional properties on West 109th Street west of Broadway, east and west of Broadway from Cathedral Parkway to West 113th Street, west of Broadway from West 113th Street to 118th Street, and west of Claremont Avenue from West 118th to 119th Street.[217]

Other culturally significant locations
The real Tom's Restaurant, which appeared in Seinfeld

Tom's Restaurant, on Broadway at 112th Street, was featured in the 1980s song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega, an alumna of Barnard College.[218] Later, exterior shots were used on the television sitcom Seinfeld as a stand-in for the diner hangout of the show's principal characters.[219]

The West End Bar served especially as a meeting place for writers of the Beat Generation in the 1940s and 1950s,[220] as well as for student activists in the years surrounding the Columbia University protests of 1968. In 2006, the establishment was absorbed into a Cuban restaurant chain, Havana Central. Later, the space was a bar and restaurant known as Bernheim & Schwartz before closing again.[221][222]

Natural features

Morningside Heights is located on a high plateau, surrounded on two sides by parks and a third by a steep valley.[182] Morningside Park is located east of Morningside Drive, on the eastern boundary of the neighborhood. The park was built because the area's steep topography created a cliff between the high ground of Morningside Heights to the west and the lower-lying land of Harlem to the east, making it impractical to build cross-streets through that area.[223][5] This cliff was created through fault movement and smoothened during glacial periods.[224] To the west is Riverside Park, the site of which was formerly rock outcroppings on the Hudson River.[29] To the north is the 125th Street valley; the high plateau starts to descend into this valley at 122nd Street.[182] It contains the Manhattanville Fault, which has seen earthquake activity as recently as 2001.[225] The southern edge of the plateau, at 110th Street, is level with the neighboring Manhattan Valley neighborhood.[182]

On West 114th Street, just west of Broadway, is a 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) outcropping of Manhattan schist called Rat Rock.[226][227] The outcropping is located between two row houses at 600 and 604 West 114th Street.[228][229]

Police and crime

Morningside Heights is patrolled by the 26th Precinct of the NYPD, located at 520 West 126th Street.[230] The 26th Precinct reported 2 murders, 8 rapes, 128 robberies, 94 felony assaults, 70 burglaries, 334 grand larcenies, and 21 grand larcenies auto in 2019. Crimes in these categories fell by 80.6% in the precinct between 1990 and 2019.[231] Of the five major violent felonies (murder, rape, felony assault, robbery, and burglary), the 26th Precinct had a rate of 612 crimes per 100,000 residents in 2019, compared to the boroughwide average of 632 crimes per 100,000 and the citywide average of 572 crimes per 100,000.[232][233][234]

As of 2018, Community District 9 has a non-fatal assault hospitalization rate of 57 per 100,000 people, compared to the boroughwide rate of 49 per 100,000 and the citywide rate of 59 per 100,000. Its incarceration rate is 633 per 100,000 people, compared to the boroughwide rate of 407 per 100,000 and the citywide rate of 425 per 100,000.[177]:8

In 2019, the highest concentration of felony assaults and robberies in Morningside Heights was on 125th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, which had 10 robberies and 12 felony assaults. The area around 123rd Street and Morningside Avenue also had 10 robberies in 2019.[232]

FDNY Engine Company 47

Morningside Heights is served by two New York City Fire Department (FDNY) stations.[235] The main fire station for the neighborhood is Engine Company 47, located at 502 West 113th Street,[235][236] next to the old Croton gatehouse.[237][198] The three-story building, designed in the Romanesque Revival style, is 25 feet (7.6 m) wide, with a facade of brick and brownstone, as well as Neoclassical-style brownstone and terracotta detailing.[237][238] The building was erected in 1891 by Napoleon LeBrun & Sons, a prolific builder of New York City firehouses in the late 19th century, and was one of the first major structures in Morningside Heights.[237][198][239] It was designated a New York City landmark in 1997.[240]

The other fire station serving Morningside Heights is Engine Company 37/Ladder Company 40, located at 415 West 125th Street, just across the neighborhood's border with Manhattanville.[235][241]
