Williamsburg Houses
The Williamsburg Houses, originally called the Ten Eyck Houses, (pronounced TEN-IKE) is a public housing complex built and operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. It consists of 20 buildings on a site bordered by Scholes, Maujer, and Leonard Streets and Bushwick Avenue.The Williamsburg Houses were built in 1936–1938 under the auspices of the Housing Division of the Public Works Administration (PWA). Richmond Shreve was the chief architect of the project; the design team of nine other architects was led by the Swiss-American modernist William Lescaze. The construction contract was awarded to Starrett Brothers & Eken. The designs called for the inclusion of modern art commissioned through the Federal Arts Project. The Williamsburg Houses were designated a New York City Landmark in 2003, and were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
