Go Inside Gracie Mansion, the Historic Home of NYC’s Mayor

Though it is most famous for this today, Gracie Mansion was not always the official home of the New York City Mayor. The iconic yellow mansion on the East River was built as a country home by a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie in 1799. It wasn’t until 1942, after the house served as a concession stand and the first location of the Museum of the City of New York, that the first New York City Mayor moved in. Fiorello LaGuardia was the first mayor to settle into Gracie Mansion and since then, every mayor except Bloomberg has called “The People’s House” home. This summer, Gracie Mansion is opening its doors to let the public have a glimpse of life inside. Untapped Cities Insiders are invited to join a members-only tour of the home on August 7th!
