Last week's neighborhood tour comes courtesy of the annual Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation Home Tour. I volunteered and my station was the Gambrel House at 55 Grove Street. Today, the building houses the owner's interior design firm and personal apartment.
Once, this space was a Cabaret Lounge first called "The Duplex" before it became "Rose's Turn." Before its turn in the cabaret scene, 55 Grove Street was 'originally constructed as a row of three in 1839.' The personal apartment of the designer, at the top floor of the building, was stunning come-to-life from the pages of any interior design magazine. Every detail was impeccably curated - from the end grain floors to the frame photo of Dash (the owner's dog) which hung in the stairwell.
There were another another six stops on the tour -
There were another another six stops on the tour -
- 50 West 12th and 12 West 10th were those farther east (between Sixth and Fifth Ave).
- Toward the West Side Highway were 330 West 12th, 340 West 11th, and 179 Christopher.
- The tour rounded out with 62 Morton between Hudson and Seventh.
For anyone that likes to peek into world of real estate, this event provided a great way to have an insider's view of some wonderful properties in the Village.
