William Dare Morgans residens blev oprindeligt bygget som en fire-etagers bolig med lukket forgård, udsmykkede hegn, en forhøjet trappe, formel søjleindgangsparti og paneleret dør med sidelamper og transom. William Dare Morgan var vicepræsident for Produce Exchange, partner i Grinnell, Tinker & Morgan, guvernør for Knickerbocker Club, grundlægger af New York Hospital og kandidat fra Yale University. Han og hans kone Angelica Livingston Hoyt, en efterkommer af to af underskriverne af uafhængighedserklæringen, opfostrede fire børn i huset. De tilføjede en femte etage i 1880, og deres familie forblev i huset i over et halvt århundrede. Senere ejere inkluderer den tidligere stille filmchef Richard West Saunders, den velkendte advokat John Pinkerton East, maleren Everett Shinn og finansmanden Charles V. Bob. De græske nyklassicistiske huse langs den nordlige side af Washington Square Park, som flankerer Lower Fifth Avenue, er, hvad der er tilbage af en gruppe huse kendt som "the Row", bygget for de sociale eliter i Village i 1830'erne. Nu anerkendt som en af de mest fremragende serier af græske nyklassicistiske huse i landet, blev de eftertragtede for deres ensartede arkitektoniske stil, høj kvalitet i byggeriet, ekstra brede og dybe grunde, fremtrædende trapper, formelle indgangsporticker og generøse forhave og forgårde.

I 1900'erne var området hjemsted for bemærkelsesværdige amerikanske forfattere, herunder Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain og Ida Tarbell. Edward Hopper og utallige andre malere, musikere og kunstnere har hentet inspiration fra energien og fællesskabet. Greenwich Village er et af de få nabolag, der stadig bevarer den gamle verdens charme og en følelse af tidløshed i Manhattan.

The William Dare Morgan residence was originally built as a four-story home with gated forecourt, ornate fencing, an elevated stoop, formal columned entrance portico, and paneled door with sidelights and transom. William Dare Morgan was Vice President of the Produce Exchange, a partner in Grinnell, Tinker & Morgan, a governor of the Knickerbocker Club, a founder of New York Hospital, and a graduate of Yale University. He and his wife Angelica Livingston Hoyt, a descendant of two of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, raised four children in the house. They added a fifth floor in 1880, and their family remained in the house for over half a century. Ensuing owners include former silent movie executive Richard West Saunders, well-known attorney John Pinkerton East, painter Everett Shinn, and the financier Charles V. Bob. The Greek Revival style houses along the North side of Washington Square Park flanking lower Fifth Avenue are what remains of a group of houses known as "the Row", built for the social elite of the Village in the 1830s. Now recognized as one of the most outstanding series of Greek Revival houses in the country, they were sought after for their uniform architectural style, high quality construction, extra wide and deep lots, prominent stoops, formal entrance porticos, and generous front gardens and forecourts.

During the 1900s, the area was home to notable American writers including Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain and Ida Tarbell. Edward Hopper and countless other painters, musicians and artists have drawn inspiration from the energy and community. Greenwich Village is one of the few neighborhoods that still retain old world charm and a sense of timelessness in Manhattan.
