For interesting and historical architecture, check out the Schuyler Mansion, site of Alexander Hamilton’s wedding to Elizabeth Schuyler, the Ten Broeck Mansion (built in 1797), Cherry Hill, the Lark Street district, and (for something more modern) the performing arts centre known as The Egg for its unique shape.
