Mark, my co-worker in the Listings Dept at RDNY.com, gave me the rest of the story about Manhattan’s Mount Vernon. The building was originally constructed in 1799 as a carriage house for a 23-acre estate named Mount Vernon in honor of the home of the Father of Our Country. In 1826 and the carriage house was converted into the Mount Vernon Hotel as a day resort for only the most genteel and respectable clientele. At that time, Manhattan ended at 14th Street, and you had to take a stagecoach or steamboat up to the property which was in the country.
There are 18 Mount Vernons in the U.S. is in honor of the Great Man. Mount Vernon, in Westchester County, New York State is the most important to us at RDNY.com. The others are in these states:
Alabama

Georgia
