Summary
| Description | 122 East 17th Street, also known as 49 Irving Place, in the Union Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1843-44 as one of three Greek Revival row houses (along with 47 Irving Place and another no longer extant). It was extended along 17th Street c.1853-54, at which time Italianate features were added. Additional changes were made c.1868-70. Despite a plaque on the 17th Street facade, there is no historical evidence for the local legend that Washington Irving lived in this house, although his nephew, Edgar Irving, did live next door at 120 East 17th Street, and had a son named Washington Irving after the writer. Else de Wolfe and Elisabeth Marbury, called by the New York Times the "most fashionable Lesbian couple of Victorian New York" lived here from 1892-1911, and de Wolfe may have been instrumental in spreading the Irving rumor. The building, which was converted to apartments prior to 1938, is located within the East 17th Street/Irving Place Historic District.
