Isaacs-Hendricks House
The oldest house in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, is called the Isaacs-Hendricks House. It is located at 77 Bedford Street, just a short distance from 75½ Bedford Street which I also described.
The Isaacs-Hendricks House dates back to 1799. It was named after two persons, John Isaacs and Harmon Hendricks. John Isaacs was the person who bought the land for the house in 1794, for $295. Harmon Hendricks was a copper dealer who supplied copper to Robert Fulton, the American engineer and inventor.
How to reach the Isaacs-Hendricks House
Take the 1 train to Christopher Street/Sheridan Square subway station. Then walk south along 7th Avenue South until you reach the intersection with Bedford Street. Turn right, walk north along Bedford Street and you will come upon 77 Bedford Street right after 75½ Bedford Street on your left.
