John G. Prague completes No. 51 Washington Square South, later part of Judson Hall
The Landmarks Preservation Commission dates No. 51 Washington Square South to 1877 and names John G. Prague as its architect. It stood thirteen years before McKim, Mead & White began the neighboring Judson tower and dormitory at Nos. 52-54, which were finished in 1895. The commission treats both buildings as a single landmark, Judson Hall, on one tax lot.

No. 51 is included in the Judson Hall landmark site designated by the city
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Judson Hall on May 17, 1966, the landmark site was Block 541, Lot 18, which covers No. 51 as well as the McKim, Mead & White building and tower at Nos. 52-54. The Commission's report calls the group an example of Italian Renaissance Eclectic design in costly materials. Community Planning Board No. 2, which advises the Borough President, spoke in favor of designation.
