“The Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Studio in Greenwich Village, operated out of the New York Studio School, has been named a National Treasure by the National Trust. The studio, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992, and was included on the World Monument Fund’s 2012 Watch List, was built in 1877 as a carriage house. In 1907 artist and patron Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney had it converted into a studio and salon, and in 1929 it became part of the original site of the Whitney Museum.” – by M.H.
