Pre-war architecture

A "pre-war" apartment building in East Orange, New Jersey

Pre-war architecture refers to buildings built in the period between the turn of the 20th century until the Second World War.[1] Many mid and high-rise apartment buildings were built after 1900 and before 1940 in New York and surrounding areas are considered pre-war and known for their spacious, hard wood-flooring, detailing, and in some case fireplaces. Quite often they are luxury rentals or so-called co-op apartments.[2][3][4]
