Historical Houses in NYC

@hhusted This website http://www.historichousetrust.org/ has listing of prominent historic homes in NYC many of which are open to the public. NYC I believe has many historic buildings one of which is the Knickerbocker building( 466 Broadway) which is located at the corner of 42nd Street Broadway. This stately building was built in 1906 as the Knickerbocker Hotel by John Jacob Astor but it closed its doors 15 years later due to the owner's reversal of fortune. The building also housed the offices of Newsweek magazine in the 1950's and today this building which is known as 6 Times Square is home to a huge outlet of GAP and also hosts several garment manufacturers.

Thanks for the website, uptowngirl. It is rather interesting to note that NYC has so many historical buildings to go visit, right?

There are tons of historical mansions in Long Island. They're just incredible houses; a lot of them have been converted into museums. I shot a commercial in Old Westbury Gardens. It was such a beautiful and creepy house. Definitely worth going out for a day and taking a look at these.

Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace is considered a historical site. Apparently he was born into a classic Victorian home. http://www.nps.gov/thrb/index.htm

I guess there are historical places everywhere in NYC.
