These are separate from the museum property and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These were built around the turn of the last century for German factory workers, when there still were factories in New York. They are now private homes and come up for sale now and then. Each are small three story dwellings. Some have small backyards.
I love history Adam. I wondered about this place for years, as I always rode by it on my bike rides. I finally found info some time ago and had to share, My wife and I had a tour of one of the townhouses. Quite cozy inside!
Yes, of course I took the tour on their website. The mansion is beautiful. People live in these townhouses? They are not on the museum property? sorry for all the questions…

Thanks for the info!

Sounds fascinating. What’s your bike path? I usually go up RSD to 165th then Ft Washington to 181st then Broadway. Sounds like you’re farther East…
Thanks, Keith.
