Landmarks of New York
The National Arts Club
This building, originally two private houses, was remodeled for Samuel J. Tilden in the early 1870's by Calvert Vaux, one of the designers of Central Park. Tilden, Governor of New York, 1874-76, and candidate for the presidency in 1876, resided here until his death. The National Arts Club, founded in 1898, purchased the property in 1906. |
