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. [more]
