New York hotels and amazing buildings
New York has its fair share of wonderful historical buildings amongst the uber modern tower blocks and cool night spots; one interesting example is the Bartow-Pell Mansion which is in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx. This grand mansion dates back to 1836 although the original house and estate were built much earlier in the sixteen hundreds. It lay sadly neglected and derelict for many years but has now been renovated and is open as a museum to the public; New York hotels near the Bronx make a great base from which to explore this wonderful memorial to the past. Another venerable building is Wyckoff House in Flatbush, Brooklyn which is accepted to be the oldest house in New York City. This diminutive frame built house has been added to over the centuries and now only a small part of the original building remains and that is thought to date from around 1652. This house is well worth a visit if you have booked one of the New York hotels which proliferate in the vicinity. New York has long been a fascinating testament to its multicultural residents and any body with an interest in history will be well entertained during their stay.
