The West 67th Street Artists' Colony is a group of structures in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. Developed as an art colony starting in 1901, it consists of apartment buildings with artists' studios, located on a single city block of 67th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. The buildings were mostly developed by artists' cooperatives and are generally made of stone and brick. Most of the buildings in the colony are located on the north side of the street, with large north-facing windows in the rear to take advantage of sunlight. Seven apartment buildings and one institutional building are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as a historic district, the West 67th Street Artists' Colony Historic District. The colony was developed amid a shortage of suitable housing for artists in New York City, at a time when the adjacent portion of the Upper West Side was relatively sparsely developed. The first building in the colony was the 67th Street Studios at 27 West 67th Street, a cooperative developed between 1901 and 1903. The success of the 67th Street Studios led to the development of three more co-op apartment buildings between 1903 and 1907; the Swiss House, a clubhouse, was also built during that period. Two additional buildings, including the Hotel des Artistes, were built in the mid-1910s, followed by two more in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The buildings had become conventional, upper-class co-ops by the late 20th century.
