About This Item
Balsam Press, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. First printing presumed (no statement or other printings). Fine in near fine dust jacket. Oversized hardcover in in black linen cloth with spine lettered in red. Map endpapers show 19th layout of the park and surrounding addresses. 192 pp. with index. Profusely illustrated with photographs, maps and reproductions. Gramercy Park is one of Manhattan's great addresses. The author tells the beguiling story of how this celebrated place came to be, from the time of its first private owner, Peter Stuyvesant, to the latter decades of the 20th century. Some of the "locals" were people such as Cyrus Field, Peter Cooper, Stanford White, Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, and Sir Arthur Sullivan. It was also the location of theNew York City mayor's official residence (the ornate lamposts are still in place) and the Players' Club is still located on its southern edge.
