Historic
Lillian Wald Houses
The Lillian Wald Houses are a NYCHA housing project in the Alphabet City neighborhood of Manhattan with 16 buildings that honor the housing advocate of the same name. The housing complex is bordered on the north by East Sixth Street, on the south by East Houston Street, on the east by the FDR Drive, and on the west by Avenue D.
Frederick L. Ackerman and Lafayette A. Goldstone were appointed as the architects of the project. The cornerstone was laid on East Sixth Street and Avenue D in 1947 following a change in state financing laws for which Lillian Wald campaigned.
