1. Sniffen Court Marker
Designated an historic district on June 21, 1966 by the New York City landmarks Preservation Commission, these buildings were constructed in Early Romanesque Revival style about the time of the Civil War and were used as stables by residents of Murray Hill. Although many have undergone changes during the past hundred years, the general effect of the district is that originally created providing an unusually picturesque and charming area. The rear of the court is the exterior wall of the former studio of Sculptress Malvina Hoffman (1887-1966)
