The 3-sided Northern Dispensary building in the heart of NYC’s
West Village Waverly Place
The deed of the Northern Dispensary, which was built in
1831, stated that the property had to be used to provide medical care to the
“worthy poor.” In fact, Edgar Allen Poe
was treated here in 1837 for a head cold when he was an unknown writer. Most recently it was home to a dental clinic,
but the doors were shut in 1998 and most of the equipment remains inside the
building getting rusty.
I always thought they should open the Northern Dispensary at
Halloween. I think a “Haunted Dental
Clinic” would be downright terrifying.
Is there room for a David and two cats?

We must find a way to get you into that place! Then you could have the Halloween Dental Experience! If only we could all invest in it and have apartments in it, too.
ReplyDeleteWonder why with real estate the way it is there no one has done anything with that neat building?
