The unknown architectural history of Marble Hill in the north of Manhattan















The what has long been known as Marble Hill is belonged to the northern end of the elongated island in New York City, where the Hudson River flowing past. High in the north of this land mass surrounded by water durchkurvte a body of water the landscape, which had access to the Harlem Creek. Subsequent water works these curves of the natural waters channel, whose water level affected by the tides is eliminated to a straightening can connect to their office. This landscape transformation has meant that a piece of Manhattan Island was separated and now belongs to the mainland. The residents of Marble Hill, however, have ensured that they remained still in the management unit Manhattan. One had the need to allow the residents.
Manhattan was already inhabited when the first Europeans arrived. Native American groups lived in caves in the rock falls or sturdy wooden buildings from curved thin logs, between the bark for weather protection had been clamped. The reconstruction of such a dwelling can be viewed on the site of the Government in Inwood Park, a suburb of Manhattan, which lies further south than Marble Hill.

The exact settlement history of Manhattan is not known, although of course it is much literature on Manhattan, which is very efficient. represented the worst so far, the Northern Manhattan, as the research, the spectacular southern parts of the island were more important. There, namely the occupational history was taken by Europeans began.

in as one Marble Hill with the working marine construction began to the make the waterway a bit harsh Spuyten Duyvil Creek at about the waterway that had been previously in the city maps of Manhattan already able to find items, as will be the subsequent fate of the waterway and its shoreline. At some point this construction took place, was surrounded by Marble Hill from a curved channelized watercourse. When they decided to shorten the loop around Marble Hill, was from what is today known as Marble Hill, an island.
This insularity of Marble Hill must have even passed yet, as one of the elevated railway from the south of the island of Manhattan to its high in the far north drove forward, which suggests a map of subway lines, which was later carried out further north.


Marble Hill is an interesting district. A stranger who has never studied the history of this district will be surprised why there are around this hill or Marble Hill, a street with terraces of houses, which look out of the inhabitants of the old and small wooden buildings, all in a valley . Only when he knows that down there in the valley was a wide stream, it is the meaning of these so-built houses of course.

An inventory of the buildings of Manhattan in New York City


Here is presented the Manhattan Project. This project aims to put the settlement history of the island of Manhattan in a sense. There over the years built buildings are to be tracked in order to make the development of building on this island understand.

was first made an inventory of what can be encountered at the time of structures. But not only interested, also what went down.

The map above shows us a map of northern Manhattan. It should reflect Construction Equipment, in the independence struggle of the Americans played a role. We see that the landscape is still empty settlements. Only individual farms are the simplest of ways. A path leads north to Kingsbridge. This is now the Broadway north of Manhattan. The Kingsbridge has become a crossroads because there is no waterway has to be bridged at this point.

With the stock in the north of the island was begun. When I read about this part of Manhattan, I realized that through a branch duct Marble Hill was separated from the island. Earlier this part of Manhattan was surrounded by a winding river. As the ship's passage was not without danger, they dug themselves a shorter route from the Harlem Creek to the Hudson River. Had the original course of the waterway to Marble Hill around not filled in, this part of the north of Manhattan would have remained an island.

However, it has operated land reclamation and filled the river to Marble Hill around, get around to building for school buildings. Elsewhere superblock as huge buildings of public housing to the area to be poured sensibly. Unfortunately, by this construction, the beauty of the landscape of northern Manhattan were destroyed in good parts.

The documentation of the buildings of Manhattan was the city sections that follow to Marble Hill on the island of Manhattan from north to south on each other. Marble Hill is now on the mainland, followed by Inwood, which is now in the far north of the island of Manhattan. Then was the documentation of the buildings of Fort George, etc. ".

Since the beginning of the settlement was held by the Europeans in the south of the island of Manhattan, also a documentation of the buildings was developed, which aimed to document as quickly as possible what is the beginning of settlement activity to understand.

land fills through the southern tip of Manhattan has changed a lot. On the curved street layout of today's downtown, however, can still see where were the first houses of the earliest settlement. However, had read much about these processes of change in order to identify the space in the city. Thus, a former fort is now in the area of the island. It used to stand on a small island off the land mass of the southern tip of Manhattan.

The landscape of the elongated island is sometimes very dramatically. You have guessed the original state of Manhattan, when you walk through the remaining virgin forest in the north of the island.

had previously been living here some of the native population when the Europeans arrived. Archaeologists have been able to find elsewhere on the island settlement traces of the Indian population. One occasionally finds Cave in rock crashes. One of the caves in the area of the current Inwood Hill Park is to have been an Indian shrine.


Man all this will have to investigate what can be detected from the earliest evidence of settlements on the island to finally come to today's construction equipment. These want to be understood.


The Manhattan project is therefore a very exciting research project which allows us to penetrate into the different building cultures. It will be interesting, as reflected in documents can find this.
