Love walking in this entire park, specifically past the Mansion and by the water.
After Gracie sold his house, the property eventually was appropriated by the City of New York in 1896 and the 11 acres that came with the home would later be formed into Carl Schurz Park.
Gracie Mansion was originally built in 1799 by a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie.
I have been here many times over the years. Good to see that others appreciate it. Thank you Jackie Kennedy Onnasis for saving Grand Central Station Landmark.
