The Upper East Side Historic District is a landmarked

borough of Manhattan, first designated by the city in 1981.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[3] Its boundaries were expanded in 2010.[1][4]

The district includes all of the Fifth Avenue properties bordering Central Park from 59th to 78th Street; both sides of Madison Avenue from 61st Street to 77th Street; both sides of Park Avenue from just below 62nd Street to 72nd Street; and portions of both sides of Lexington Avenue from 63rd Street to 75th Street.[5]

The district is home to a number of buildings individually listed on the

Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo Mansion and the Sara Delano Roosevelt Memorial House,[1] as well as edifices that are more recent additions like the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue — a 2003 building designed in an "artful synthesis of the composition, details and material palette of the Beaux-Arts style," to complement the historic buildings that surround it.[6]
