2007 marks the Centennial of the opening of The City College of New York’s campus on Hamilton Heights in Harlem.  CCNY came uptown after it had outgrown its original facility, the Free Academy building at 23rd Street and Lexington Ave.  The new campus, designed by George B. Post, gave the College a “plant second to none,” and it is considered one of the finest examples of neo-Gothic architecture at any institution in the United States.
