White brick building

Years active	1950s–1970s
Location	New York City

White brick buildings became common in New York City during the 1950s (and are therefore considered to be part of the modernist movement), even though they were not totally unknown to the city before that, as the 1907 Plaza Hotel shows. That said, between the 1950s and 1970s, around 140 white brick apartments were built in the city, defining a lot of its post-war character. Since 2008, white brick buildings became recognized as an important element in New York, with the requirement of the first landmark restoration of such as building: the 1960 co-op at 900 Fifth Avenue. As white brick buildings age, they are considered to require higher maintenance than other construction styles.
