Lamartine Place Historic District, Historic district in Chelsea, Manhattan, United States.
The district encompasses twelve mid-19th century rowhouses on the north side of West 29th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Manhattan.
William Torrey and Cyrus Mason developed this block of Greek Revival style brick houses in 1847, naming it after French writer Alphonse de Lamartine.
The Gibbons residence at 339 West 29th Street operated as a station on the Underground Railroad, helping enslaved individuals escape to Canada.
The district extends from number 333 to number 355 on West 29th Street, with each building maintaining its original nineteenth-century architectural elements.
During the 1863 Draft Riots, the Gibbons family daughters escaped an attacking mob by crossing the connected rooftops of these connected row houses.
