Building Description

Dedicated supporters of Teachers College ? now part of Columbia University ? banded together to form the Morningside Realty Company for the creation of a much-needed women's dormitory. J.M.A. Darragh of the celebrated Bruce Price architecture firm drew up the plans for the Flemish Revival design that stands at 1220 Amsterdam Avenue now. Known as Whittier Hall, the property features four wings ? two for students and two for revenue?generating rental apartments, along with street-level commercial space. Apartments at Whittier Hall are reserved solely for unmarried Teachers College students.

Every apartment configuration features a private bedroom and furnished rooms. Student common areas include fitness rooms, media lounges, computer rooms, and a conference room. Heat, hot water, local phone, electricity, internet access, and cable television are all included in the semester fee. 1220 Amsterdam Avenue is a block away from Morningside Park and steps away from a bevy of mass transportation options at 116 Street? Columbia University station.

Eliza Theiss, Apr 23, 2026 $4.6M Hudson Yards Maintains Top Spot, Luxury Sales in Malba Set $2.5M Price Record for Queens
Despite prices declining, Hudson Yards remained the most expensive NYC neighborhood, but TriBeCa’s growth closed the gap to under $400,000, while Malba set a new historic price record for Queens at $2.5 million, securing the highest ranking ever for the borough at #5.
Eliza Theiss, Mar 19, 2026 Cheaper in the City? Nearly 100 Communities in Suburban NYC Surpass $1M
New Yorkers planning a move to the suburbs increasingly find their options limited, after suburban home values shot up twice as fast as NYC medians over the last decade. While larger homes and better prices were long the norm outside the five boroughs, today, many NYC buyers find their option restricted to a handful of suburban markets.
