HISTORIC DISTRICT
NEW YORK CITY

GRAMERCY PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
The Gramercy Park Historic District provides an early
example of creative town planning. The area was devel-
oped in 1831 by Samuel B. Ruggles who laid out lots
around New York City's only surviving private park.
Buyers of the lots became joint owners of the park
and each received a key to the gate. Original town-
houses in Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival
and Victorian Gothic styles still line the south and
west sides of the square. The Friends Meeting House
of the 185O's and one of the city's earliest apartment
houses, built in 1883, are at the southeast corner.
Plaque provided by the Trustees of Gramercy Park 1981
