NEW YORK CITY 🇺🇸
SoHo
SoHo, often known as Soho, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Since the twentieth century, it has been home to several artists’ lofts and art galleries, as well as a diverse range of shops ranging from trendy upmarket boutiques to national and international chain store outlets. The history of the neighborhood is a model of inner-city regeneration and gentrification, involving economical, cultural, political, and architectural changes.
Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of The South Houston Industrial Area study, often known as the “Rapkin Report,” originated the term “SoHo” in 1962 to refer to the area “South of Houston Street.”
The name is also reminiscent of Soho, a district in London’s West End.
The SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, which was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, was enlarged in 2010, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and named a National Historic Landmark in 1978, encompasses almost all of SoHo.
It is composed of 26 blocks and around 500 buildings, many of which include cast-iron architectural elements.
