Patchin Place, Historic alley in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, US
Ten three-story brick row houses line both sides of this narrow dead-end street between 6th Avenue and Greenwich Avenue on West 10th Street.
Samuel Milligan constructed these residences in 1849 for his son-in-law Aaron Patchin, initially housing Basque waiters from the nearby Brevoort House Hotel.
Notable writers Theodore Dreiser, E.E. Cummings, John Cowper Powys, and Djuna Barnes found solitude in these houses during the early 20th century.
A gate at the entrance restricts vehicle access while allowing pedestrians to explore this residential enclave near Jefferson Market Library.
One of New York City's last remaining gas street lamps stands in this alley, converted to electric power during the 1920s.
