TheSamuel J. Tilden House is a historic townhouse pair at 14-15Gramercy Park South inManhattan,New York City. Built in 1845, it was the home ofSamuel J. Tilden (1814–1886), former governor ofNew York, a fierce opponent of theTweed Ring andTammany Hall, and the losing presidential candidate in the disputed1876 election. Tilden lived in the brownstone from 1860 until his death in 1886.^[4]^[5] From 1881 to 1884,^[6]Calvert Vaux combined it with the row house next door, also built in 1845, to make the building that now stands,^[7] which has been described as "the height of Victorian Gothic in residential architecture" withItalian Renaissance style elements.^[8] Since 1906 it has been the headquarters of theNational Arts Club, a private arts club.

Description and history

[edit]

The Samuel J. Tilden House is located on the south side of Gramercy Park, facing the park across Gramercy Park South between Irving Place and Gramercy Park West. It is a four-story sandstone structure, its exterior finished mainly in pink sandstone with ashlar finish. Pink marble is used in the entrance surrounds, and shiny stone material studs some of the horizontal stringcourses. The building interior retains many Victorian features dating to the Vaux redesign, including parquet floors and floor-to-ceiling wood paneling. Further carved details have been preserved by the National Arts Club and are displayed in basement spaces.^[4]

The rowhouses were built in the 1840s, after Gramercy Park was laid out by Samuel B. Ruggles. Tilden acquired first Number 15, and later Number 14, in the 1860s, and lived in the combined units until his death. During these years, Tilden rose to prominence for successful battling thepolitical machine ofTammany Hall in city politics, and becameGovernor of New York in 1875. He ran forpresident in1876, winning the popular vote, but losing theelectoral college toRutherford B. Hayes in a politically controversial process. The election is widely considered to mark the end ofReconstruction after theAmerican Civil War. In those tumultuous times, he had both rolling steel doors and a secret escape tunnel.^[9]

The house was extensively restyled in the 1880s by Calvert Vaux, transforming it from the Greek Revival to a more Italianate Victorian style. Since 1906, the house has been occupied by theNational Arts Club, a private arts club. The building was designated aNew York City landmark in 1966,^[6] and declared aNational Historic Landmark in 1976. It is the only known residence associated with the life of Tilden.^[3]^[4]^[5] It is located in theGramercy Park Historic District.
