111 AND 113 EAST 19TH STREET ![]() This pair of narrow four-story Anglo-Italianate houses was built by Judge Thomas J. Oakley, who lived in the house at 12 Gramercy Park South that backed onto these 19th Street lots. Judge Oakley retained ownership of No. 111 until 1864; in 1908, No. 113 was acquired by Oakley's daughter and son-in-law, Matilda and William Rhinelander, in a foreclosure sale (they had purchased No. 111 in 1898). The houses retain such original features as their ground-floor arcade, segmental-arched windows, and wooden cornices. Between 1906 and 1911, No. 113 served as the offices of the prominent architectural firm of Herts & Tallant, best known for the design of such theaters as the New Amsterdam, Lyceum, and Brooklyn Academy of Music; during these years the building was also Henry Herts' home. The interior details of the house are said to reflect the taste of these architects. | ![]() 37 38 40 44 45 60 1 Gramercy Park Hotel Park Gramercy Church Missions House New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children United Charities Building Manhattan Trade School for Girls Gramercy Arms Sage House Family Court Building Children's Court 145 Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Lutheran Church Parish House Lexington Miss E.L.
