This is a rare opportunity to explore Sniffen Court, a mid-19th-century mews tucked away in Murray Hill, whose 10 brick carriage houses form the Sniffen Court Historic District and are listed on the National Register.
Built in the 1860s, Sniffen Court is one of the few surviving examples of a purpose-built courtyard in Manhattan. Featured on the tour will be The Amateur Comedy Club that in 1918 adapted two of these carriage houses for its theatre club. The Club is the oldest continuously operating theatrical society of its kind in the nation. Tours will include a look inside the Club’s historic spaces, such as Green Room, Prohibition-era liquor lockers, and its archive of theatrical art and memorabilia.
Guests will also enjoy refreshments and a surprise performance.
Participation is by pre-registration only. A $10 payment is required, and all proceeds will directly benefit the NY Landmarks Conservancy.
Each group is limited to the first 20 respondents to RSVP, so if you are interested, please let us hear from you soon.
