Colonnade Row, also known as
LaGrange Terrace, on present-day
Lafayette Street in
New York City's
NoHo neighborhood, is a
landmarked series of
Greek revival buildings originally built in the early 1830s. They are believed to have been built by Seth Geer, although the project has been attributed to a number of other architects. The buildings' original name comes from
the Marquis de Lafayette's estate in France, but the series of nine
row houses, of which four remain, owe their existence to
John Jacob Astor, who bought the property and whose grandson
John Jacob Astor III later lived at No. 424. The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the name LaGrange Terrace and the facades remain standing on Lafayette Street south of
Astor Place.
