A "pre-war" apartment building in East Orange, New Jersey

Pre-war architecture refers to buildings built in the period between the turn of the 20th century until the Second World War, particularly in and around New York City.[1] Many mid- and high-rise apartment buildings which were built between 1900 and 1939[2] in New York and surrounding areas are considered "pre-war" and known for their spaciousness, hardwood flooring, detailing, and, in some cases, fireplaces. Quite often they are luxury rentals or co-op apartments.[3][4][5][6]
