121 Charles St

West Village, New York

Rescued from demolition by the Archdiocese
Margaret Wise Brown lived here in the 1940s

A 19th-century farmhouse dropped into Greenwich Village like a glitch in the matrix. This rambling wooden house was carted downtown from York Avenue in 1967 to escape demolition, and once hosted "Good Night Moon" author Margaret Wise Brown.
