Presidential Listings: NYC buildings and listings in honor of past U.S. presidents
Centuries later, New York has not lost its affection for presidential history. Several buildings, streets, and even full neighborhoods have been named in honor of past presidents. In anticipation of the Presidents’ Day federal holiday on Monday, February 19, we look at listings that will appeal to history buffs as well as savvy buyers.

Approximately 230 miles north of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, The White House offers a commanding presence and majestic views of Central Park on the Upper West Side.

President from 1797-1801, John Adams was the first president to have signed the Declaration of Independence. Over 150 years later, a postwar co-op in Greenwich Village was named in his honor.

Abraham Lincoln was the first United States president to be photographed at his inauguration, and his name lives on in New York. It cannot be confirmed whether the Lincoln Center performing arts center, and the Lincoln Square neighborhood that preceded it, was named after him.

Before becoming president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson’s academic and political careers largely took place in New Jersey. However, that did not prevent a full-service Art Deco building in Crown Heights from being named in his honor.

Many buildings, streets, and neighborhoods were named after presidents long after their terms ended. However, the reverse happened for developer-turned-president Donald Trump: Over the course of his presidency, his branded New York City buildings became the site of protests against his most unpopular policies. This resulted in their prices and value taking a hit to a point where some boards have voted to remove the name from the facade altogether.

Although there are plenty of Joe's around the city (pizza!), Joesph and Biden are two difficult names to find on an apartment building. So we turn to his endearing middle name, Robinette. Since Biden is no spring chicken, we found an Upper West Side building that fits the bill.
