The Mayor's House in NYC
Did you know that most mayors of NYC lived in one place. This place is known as Gracie Mansion. It is situated at 88th St and East End Ave in Carl Schurz Park. They do offer tours. You can call 212-570-4751 or go to their website at www.historichousetrust.org.
Archibald Gracie built the place in 1799. Later in 1942, Fiorello La Guardia turned it into the official house of the mayor. After it was declared the mayor's house, every mayor lived there except for Bloomberg. I guess he preferred living in his own mansion.
