Turtle Bay Gardens Historic District, Historic district in Turtle Bay, Manhattan, United States.
The district encompasses twenty rowhouses positioned between Second and Third Avenues, featuring pale stucco facades and cast iron architectural elements.
Charlotte Hunnewell Sorchan led the renovation of these 1860s rowhouses between 1918 and 1920, following designs by architect Clarence Dean.
The district gained recognition when residents included Katharine Hepburn, E. B. White, Ruth Gordon, Ricardo Montalbán, and Stephen Sondheim.
The buildings span 226-246 East 49th Street and 227-245 East 48th Street, maintaining their original four-story height with English basements.
A shared garden separates individual backyards with a flagstone walkway and fountain modeled after Villa Medici, creating a residential oasis.
