Isaacs-Hendricks House

Isaacs-Hendricks House is believed to be the oldest house in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. It is located at 77 Bedford Street, at the junction with Commerce Street, just a short distance from 75½ Bedford Street which I have also described.

The Isaacs-Hendricks House dates back to 1799. It is a clapboard farmhouse in the Federal style. It was named after two persons, John Isaacs and Harmon Hendricks. John Isaacs was the person who bought the land for the house in 1794, for $295, while Harmon Hendricks was the copper dealer who supplied copper to Robert Fulton, the American engineer and inventor.

Updates

2 May, 2013: It was reported in curbed.com that the Isaacs Hendricks House has been put up for sale for $6.9 million. The last known owner, who bought it in 1989, is said to be the French socialite Jacqueline Thion de la Chaume, who was also the third ex-wife of the late actor Yul Brynner.

How to reach the Isaacs-Hendricks House

Take the 1 train to Christopher Street/Sheridan Square subway station. Then walk south along 7th Avenue South until you reach the intersection with Bedford Street. Turn right, walk north along Bedford Street and you will come upon 77 Bedford Street right after 75½ Bedford Street on your left.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
