NYC Walking Tour: Historic Murray Hill

Imagine life as it was in the 19th century when the wealthy built their mansions in the toniest neighborhood of Manhattan, Murray Hill. We’ll take a look at the exterior of the Morgan Library, designed by renowned architect Charles McKim of McKim, Mead, & White–using no mortar between its marble blocks–as well as the remaining homes, stables, and private clubs in this historical district. Using vintage photographs, Ginny will give you a then-and-now look at what remains and will talk about how the neighborhood got its name.
