CCNY's Collegiate Gothic campus in Manhattanville was erected in 1906, replacing a downtown campus built in 1849.
This new campus was designed by George Browne Post.
According to CCNY's published history, "The Landmark neo-Gothic buildings [...] are superb examples of English Perpendicular Gothic style and are among the first buildings, as an entire campus, to be built in the U.S. in this style.
Groundbreaking for the Gothic Quadrangle buildings took place in 1903".
There were five original neo-Gothic buildings on the upper Manhattan campus, which opened in 1906:
Shepard Hall, standing on its own, across the street from the campus quadrangle on Convent Avenue
Baskerville Hall
Compton Hall
Harris Hall
Wingate Hall
Shepard Hall, the largest building and the centerpiece of the campus, was modeled after a Gothic cathedral plan with its main entrance on St. Nicholas Terrace.
It has a large chapel assembly hall called the Great Hall, which has a mural painted by Edwin Blashfield called "The Graduate" and another mural in the Lincoln Hallway commissioned by the class of 1901 called "The Great Teachers" painted by Abraham Bogdanove in 1930.
The building was named after Edward M. Shepard.

Baskerville Hall for many years housed the Chemistry Department, was also known as the Chemical Building, and had one of the largest original lecture halls on the campus, Doremus lecture hall.
It currently houses HSMSE, The High School for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering.

Compton Hall was originally designed as the Mechanical Arts Building.

Harris Hall, named in the original architectural plans as the Sub-Freshman Building, housed City College's preparatory high school, Townsend Harris High School, from 1906 until it moved in 1930 downtown to the School of Business.

Wingate Hall was named for George Wood Wingate (Class of 1858), an attorney and promoter of physical fitness.
It served as the College's main gymnasium between 1907 and 1972.

The sixth campus, Goethals Hall, was completed in 1930.
The new building was named for George Washington Goethals, the CCNY civil engineering alumnus who, as mentioned above in the section on the history of the College, went on to become the chief engineer of the Panama Canal.
Goethals Hall housed the School of Technology (engineering) and adjoins the Mechanical Arts Building, Compton Hall.

The six Gothic buildings are connected by a tunnel, which closed to public use in 1969.
Six hundred grotesques on the original Gothic buildings represent the practical and the fine arts.

The North Campus Quadrangle contains four great arches on the main avenues entering and exiting the campus:
the Hudson Gate on Amsterdam Avenue
the George Washington Gate at 138th Street and Convent Avenue
the Alexander Hamilton Gate at the northern edge of Convent Avenue
the Peter Stuyvesant Gate at St. Nicholas Terrace. (
The Archway and north pedestrian arch over the north side of St. Nicholas Terrace was dismantled as the best as can be determined sometime around 1935-1937 when excavations were made to the grounds on the north side of St. Nicholas Terrace, former site of the Bowker Library, as shoring was being added to the library.

The New York Landmarks Preservation Commission made the North Campus Quadrangle buildings and the College Gates official landmarks in 1981.
The buildings in the Quadrangle were put on the State and National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
In the summer of 2006, the historic gates on Convent Avenue were restored.
