Since this Manhattan neighborhood was named for the Murray family and
their contributions to the American Revolution, many of New York's most
illustrious residents have made Murray Hill their home. The mansions of
J.P. Morgan Jr. and William Waldorf Astor stood along its streets.
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt lived here as newlyweds, as did Admiral
Farragut, Commodore Perry and Sinclair Lewis, along with Andy Warhol's
famous Factory. Not only homes but also many quintessential New York
landmarks are located in this historic district--visit the original
Tiffany & Company building, the Civic Club, the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts and a once-famous B. Altman Department Store that is now
New York's Science, Industry and Business Library. Experience the
striking architecture and discover the stories of Manhattan's Murray
Hill.
