O. Henry, William Sidney Porter, lived in New York from 1902 to 1910, and for part of that time occupied the front room on this floor. Looking out of its three large windows, he sat for hours watching passers-by and used many of them as characters in his stories. In this room he wrote one of his most beautiful stories, The Gift of the Magi, in two feverish hours.
