Streetscapes: Henderson Place on the UES

By chance, two of our classmates growing up lived on Henderson Place, a private dead-end lane on East 86th Street between York and East End Avenues. What sticks out in our minds from 25 years ago is their diminutive scale (we weren’t too concerned with architectural detail back then). Built in the early 1880’s by the architects Lamb & Rich, the Queen-Anne style houses have the added bonus of being on a private alley that gives the owners an unheard of right in this city–reserved street parking.
