A Lower Manhattan church and an Upper West Side public school building were named landmarks yesterday by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The former St. George Melkite Catholic Church at 103 Washington Street, between Carlisle and Rector streets, was built around 1812 and served as a boarding house until a church took the space between 1925 and 1966. The Mickey Mantle School, at 460-466 West End Avenue at 82nd Street, opened in 1896 and was designed by architect C. B. J. Snyder, who oversaw school construction. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
