London Terrace, Residential complex in Chelsea, Manhattan, US

London Terrace spans an entire block between 9th and 10th Avenues, featuring fourteen connected buildings that rise up to nineteen stories in height.

Following the 1929 demolition of traditional London-style row houses, Henry Mandel developed this grand residential project with an investment of 25 million dollars.

The complex maintains a connection to literature through its land's previous owner, Clement Clarke Moore, who wrote the poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'.

The building contains 1,700 apartments divided between cooperative and rental units, offering residents access to an Olympic-sized swimming pool and modern fitness center.

During December 1932, baseball player Babe Ruth dressed as Santa Claus and distributed presents to children at a Christmas celebration in the building.
