NYC - East Village: Charlie Parker Residence
Made by wallyg
Built in 1849, this is a rare surviving example of a residential building built in the Gothic Revival style, a style most often used for churches. Notable details include the pointed entranceway with clustered colonettes, the prominent hood molding and a refoil relief below the projecting box cornice. From 1950 to 1954 this building was the home of Charlie Bird Parker, the world renowned alto saxophonist. Parker was the co-founder of bebop, the modern jazz style that he and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie created during the mid 1940's. The Charlie Parker Residence was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1999. National Register #94000262 (1994)
