City College of New York

City College was originally situated in downtown Manhattan, then moved to its current location in upper Manhattan village of Manhattanville in 1906, when the classical neo-Gothic campus was erected. In 1953, it bought the campus of the Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart (which on a 1913 map was shown as The Convent of the Sacred Heart), which added a south section to the campus. It thereby assumed its current layout from 140th Street to 130th Street, from St. Nicholas Terrace, west to Amsterdam Avenue.
