Wave Hill House (New York City)


The original Wave Hill House was built in 1843 by William Lewis Morris in Greek Revival style.

Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., leased the house from 1870-71. Another celebrated tenant, Mark Twain, made Wave Hill a social milieu of literary greats during 1901-03. Other famous residents of Wave Hill House have included the conductor Arturo Toscanini (1942-1945) and chief members of the British Delegation to the United Nations (1950-1956).

The house currently houses a cafe with grand views of the New Jersey Pallisades and Hudson River, a gallery, and programs for the Wave Hill garden.
