Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Manhattan is a Lutheran church located at 164 West 100th Street just east of Amsterdam Avenue, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was founded in 1888 as the German Evangelical Lutheran Church to serve German immigrants moving into the Upper West Side. It initially held services in a storefront until money had been raised to buy land and build a sanctuary.The double-height brick and stone masonry church building was constructed in 1908, and was designed by George W. Conable in the Gothic Revival style. In the 1950s, the building was slated for demolition as part of Robert Moses' urban renewal program, but the parish resisted and eventually, after 10 years, won the battle. It became the only structure within 32 acres (13 ha) in its neighborhood not to have been razed by Moses. On September 26, 2009, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hotel Marseilles
Hotel Marseilles

The Hotel Marseilles (also known as the Marseilles) is a residential building at 2689–2693 Broadway, on the corner with West 103rd Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, United States. Constructed between 1902 and 1905 as one of several apartment hotels along Broadway on the Upper West Side, the Marseilles was designed by architect Harry Allan Jacobs in the Beaux-Arts style. The building is a New York City designated landmark. The building is 11 stories tall. Its facade is largely made of red brick and stone, with ornamentation made of architectural terracotta and wrought iron. The limestone base is three stories high and contains a main entrance on 103rd Street; the building also contains an interior light court facing south. The structure is topped by a two-story mansard roof with asphalt tiles. When the Marseilles operated as a hotel, it contained several dining rooms and other spaces for guests. The upper stories were arranged into more than 250 guestrooms, which have since been converted into 134 apartments for the elderly. The Marseilles was developed by J. Arthur Pinchbeck, whose Netherlands Construction Company developed the structure as an apartment hotel. The hotel was completed in October 1905 and was originally operated by Louis Lukes before being resold several times in the 20th century. The ground-story rooms were replaced with shops in the 1920s. The structure contained a refugee center for Holocaust survivors in the 1940s, and the Marseilles became a single room occupancy hotel in the late 20th century. Two attempts to convert the building into affordable housing for elderly people failed in the 1960s and 1970s. The West Side Federation for Senior Housing sponsored a third, successful conversion, which was completed in 1980.
