The Gracie Mansion
The mansion was not always the residence of the New York City mayor. The 12,855-square-foot mansion was built by a New York merchant named Archibald Gracie in 1799. For decades, the mansion was a private house. It became the official residence of the mayor in 1942. Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia and his family moved in there for the first time. It was the Parks Commissioner, Robert Moses, who convinced city authorities to designate Gracie Mansion as the official residence of the mayor.
