HISTORIA YA 217 EAST 61st STREET:

Iliyoko kwenye mtaa wa nyumba za mjini ulio na miti kandokando, ndani ya wilaya ndogo ya kihistoria katika Upper East Side ya Manhattan, 217 East 61st Street wakati fulani ilikuwa makazi ya nyota wa Broadway na Hollywood, Montgomery Clift. Majukumu yake mengi makuu katika filamu yanajumuisha: “From Here to Eternity” akiwa na Frank Sinatra na Burt Lancaster; “Red River” akiwa na John Wayne; “A Place in the Sun” akiwa na Elizabeth Taylor; na “The Misfits” akiwa na Clark Gable na Marilyn Monroe. Taylor na Monroe walikuwa wageni wa mara kwa mara wa Clift katika nyumba nambari 217, pamoja na nyota wengine wengi. Baa ndogo iliyoko kwenye ghorofa ya sebule mbili, ambako Clift aliwakaribisha wageni hao, haikuguswa wakati wa ukarabati kamili wa nyumba hiyo, ambao uliongeza huduma za kisasa huku ukihifadhi umaridadi wa zamani. 217 ilikuwa na historia mashuhuri hata kabla Montgomery Clift hajainunua. Mwaka 1906, Rais Theodore Roosevelt alimpa binti yake Alice kama zawadi ya harusi (kulingana na New York Magazine, Juni 4, 2006). Clift alinunua nyumba hiyo kutoka kwa Count Serge Obolensky, mtu mashuhuri wa Urusi aliyeishi uhamishoni na aliyekuwa mtu maarufu katika jamii ya New York. Mbali na historia na eneo lake la kipekee, 217 E. 61st ina hali ya starehe, ya kitamaduni na inayofaa familia ambayo huenda umekuwa ukiitafuta.

217 EAST 61st STREET HISTORY:

Located on a tree-lined townhouse block in a small historic district on Manhattan's Upper East Side, 217 East 61st Street was once the home of Broadway and Hollywood star Montgomery Clift. His many starring roles in movies include: "From Here to Eternity" with Frank Sinatra and Burt Lancaster; "Red River" with John Wayne; "A Place in the Sun" with Elizabeth Taylor; and "The Misfits" with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. Taylor and Monroe were Clift's frequent guests at 217 along with many other stars. The small bar on the double-parlor floor around which Clift entertained them was untouched in the complete renovation of the property which added modern conveniences to past elegance. 217 had a notable history before Montgomery Clift owned it. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt gave it to his daughter Alice as a wedding present (according to New York Magazine, June 4, 2006). Clift bought the property from Count Serge Obolensky, a Russian noble-in-exile and New York society figure. In addition to its distinguished history and location, 217 E. 61st has the comfortable, traditional family friendly feeling that you may be looking for.
