New York Architecture

As one of the nation’s first states, New York’s historic architecture spans centuries, and almost every style and era is well represented across its iconic and unique structures. Famous landmarks abound in New York City from the engineering marvel of the Brooklyn Bridge to the Beaux-Arts stylings of the New York Public Library to the 77-story Chrysler Building with its gleaming stainless steel spire and Art Deco details that have defined the city skyline since 1930.

Architectural legend Frank Lloyd Wright created some of his most famous buildings in New York State, including the Guggenheim as well as Graycliff and the Martin House, two masterpieces that can be found in Buffalo. Explore Colonial-era gems like Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow and Schenectady’s Stockade Historic District, the rustic yet luxurious Adirondack Great Camps, and the Victorian treasures of Syracuse’s Hawley-Green neighborhood.

From the New York State Capitol to The Egg in Albany's Empire State Plaza, to the opulent Gold Coast mansions of Long Island, to the Tiffany-designed Shea's theater in Buffalo — no matter where you are, New York sets the scene for a captivating journey through architectural grandeur.
