Founded in 1872, the Dwight School went through many iterations and locations before it landed on this Upper West Side location.
A prestigious college prep school, Dwight has seen many notable alumni, including writer Truman Capote and former NYC mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia.
In the music world, singer-songwriter Julian Casablancas, guitarist Nick Valensi, and drummer Fab Moretti of The Strokes met and started playing together while at the school.
