Celebrating 150 Years of The Met
Story
April 13, 2020, marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Museum occupied two temporary buildings before opening its permanent location in Central Park in 1880. When it first opened to the public, The Met was located in the Dodworth Building at 681 Fifth Avenue. The Douglas Mansion became The Met’s second home from 1873 to 1879, situated at 128 West 14th Street. Since opening its permanent home on Fifth Avenue, the building has expanded greatly, and various additions now surround the original structure. These images chronicle the early decades of The Met’s 150-year history.

Manhattan: 14th Street (West) - 6th Avenue Old Douglas Mansion, 128 West 14th Street, south side, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, at the end of its long career. See the view about 1918, by Ewing Galloway. June, 1925.
128 West 14th Street
Manhattan: 14th Street (West) - 6th Avenue Old Cruger or Douglas Mansion, 128 West 14th Street, south side, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. Originally built as a reproduction of Boscobel House, the Douglas family nest in Scotland, it has had a long and varied history. Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, stayed here in 1851. Theodore Roosevelt the Elder played here as a boy. From 1873 to 1879 it was occupied by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then it became a saloon, and finally ended its days as the Salvation Army training college, like a tired old man turning to religion at the end of a colorful life. About 1918. Ewing Galloway.
