It falls within the city's newest historic landmark area and is part of a neighborhood where generations of American cultural greats staged their art, music, literature and politics. About 250 buildings in Manhattan's Greenwich Village that reach back to the 1800s gained historic district status Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013, after a unanimous vote by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission.
