This building was constructed c. 1841-42 for Amos Palmer as a private house. In later years it housed a hotel, the home and office of the first woman doctor in America, and the offices of the Village Voice newspaper. The influential publishing house Grove Press moved here in 1964, publishing Alex Haley’s The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Jacqueline Susann’s The Valley of the Dolls while here.
