233-237 Bleecker Street
Located within the South Village Historic
District proposed by GVSHP, these rare, historic early 19th century structures at 233-237 Bleecker Street face the continuing
threat of insensitive alterations and possible demolition. These iconic buildings—at
a critical intersection in the South Village—are in and of themselves historically and
architecturally significant enough to warrant landmark designation; however, there
is also evidence to indicate that they may have served as the inspiration for the
renowned Edward Hopper painting Early Sunday Morning (1930).
