History
6
Built in 1846 by architect Edward Mesier, 17 West 16th Street has a bowed front more typical of Boston row houses than New York, and its Greek Revival doorway with eared architrave, frieze egg-and-dart molding, and modillioned cornice exemplifies details of that style. From 1930 to 1973, it was the Margaret Sanger Clinic, and in 1993 the site was designated a National Historic Landmark for its national significance in the history of the United States of America.
