The Official Residence of the Mayor of New York City
Gracie Mansion, located on the banks of the East River, was constructed in 1799 as the country house of Archibald Gracie, a Scottish shipping magnate. Presidents and the literati of the day were entertained in the Federal-style mansion notable for its three-sided porch and the trellis railings that sweep around the house at its upper levels. Gracie Mansion was acquired by the City of New York in 1896, and since 1942, it has been the official residence of the city's mayors. Today, ten rooms are open to the public, featuring art and antiques created by local artisans. Adjoining the mansion are a public park and a beautiful riverside promenade.
