[WATCH] Tourist in Your Own Town Explores Gracie Mansion
The New York Landmarks Conservancy's Tourist in Your Own Town series explores some of New York City’s best hidden gems as well as some of the classic iconic landmarks. In this video from the series, we take a look at the Gracie Mansion.
Gracie Mansion has been the official residence of New York City’s mayors since 1942, but it has had a long history before that. Built in 1799 as a summer home for Scottish merchant Archibald Gracie, it is one of the oldest wood buildings in the five boroughs and is now part of the city’s Historic House Trust.
