32nd Police Precinct Station
The 32nd Police Precinct Station is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) police station at 1850–1854 Amsterdam Avenue, at the intersection with 152nd Street, in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, United States. Built in 1871 or 1872, it was designed by Nathaniel D. Bush, the in-house architect for the NYPD. The main building was designed in the French Second Empire style and has four stories and a basement. The 152nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue elevations of the facade are nearly identical, with brick facades, sandstone and granite decorations, central pavilions, and mansard roofs. The interior preserves several original 19th-century elements. The complex also includes a two-story prison (connected to the main building by a one-story wing), as well as an attached garage. The building served the 32nd (later 30th) Precinct of the NYPD from its completion until 1975. The precinct's original building, constructed on land acquired in 1864, was at the same intersection as the current building. The garage was constructed on the site of the original stable in 1926. After the NYPD moved out, the main building was sold to the St. Luke African Methodist Episcopal Church, while the garage was split into separate ownership. The main building is a New York City designated landmark, and the entire complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
