DescriptionClinton Hall Mercantile Library Bldg 13 Astor Place.jpg
Clinton Hall at 13 Astor Place, designed by George E. Harney, was built in 1890 on the site of the Astor Opera House, which, after a riot provoked by rival productions of Macbeth, was closed down and turned over to use of the New York Mercantile Library. The original building was torn down, and this 11-story structure was built in its place. The library left in 1932, and the building has since been a union headquarters (District 65 of the Distributive Workers of America), the Astor Place Hotel, and, as of 1995, condominiums.
