Greenwich House, Settlement house in West Village, United States

The Greenwich House spans five stories with a parlor floor, multiple bedrooms, back garden, and terraces throughout its red brick townhouse structure.

Founded in 1902 by Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch, Jacob Riis, Carl Schurz, and Felix Adler as a social service organization supporting immigrant communities.

The building maintains Federal style architecture with quartersawn white oak details, Danish furnishings, and contemporary art from female artists.

The interior spaces include a ground-level lounge, wine storage, hidden apartment entrance, and multiple adaptable rooms for various community activities.

The renovation integrated sound-dampening upholstered walls and a top floor containing a combination of studio space, guest accommodations, and sauna facilities.
