The New York Times June 29, 1899 Memorial of Susan E. Leroy Tablet Unveiled in Trinity Church, Newport, Yesterday To the glory of God and in loving memory of Susan Elizabeth Leroy, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Stuyvesant Fish and wife of Daniel Leroy. Born in New York, July 25, 1808. Died at Newport, July 20, 1892. “I heard the voice of Jesus say, come unto me and rest.” Erected by her granddaughter, Natalie Bayard Brown, A.D. 1899.
Interment per New York Herald, Friday, July 22, 1892. She was the daughter of Colonel Nicholas Fish.
"Speculative builder Thomas E. Davis, for example, was
involved in the subdivision and development of the
Stuyvesant farm, and in 1831 erected grand houses on
both sides of St. Mark's Place between Second and
Third Avenues. A survivor with most of its original
detail intact is the Daniel Leroy town house, a
designated New York City Landmark, at 20 St. Mark's Place. (Daniel Leroy was married to Susan Elizabeth Fish, daughter of Elizabeth and Nicholas Fish of 21 Stuyvesant Street, and was the brother-in-law of Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts. Leroy died in 1885 at his Newport cottage but was interred at St. Mark's in-the-Bowery.) This late Federal-style house, with a prominent arched doorway with a Gibbs surround, is the equal in grandeur of almost anything in the Washington Square or Bond Street neighborhoods. "
20 St. Mark's Place, home of the Grassroots Tavern, has been sold
"For months now we've been hearing that 20 St. Mark's Place was in the process of being sold.
And now details on the sale of the historic building between Second Avenue and Third Avenue are public. Real Estate Weekly noted last week that Klosed Properties is the new owner. There wasn't any mention of the price. According to public records, it appears that Klosed Properties paid about $5.6 million for the building, which includes a 2nd-floor co-op that also served as an art studio.
We don't know too much about this real-estate company. Among their newer properties in their vast portfolio: 837 Second Ave., which was home until last spring to the original, 90-year-old Palm Restaurant. As several news outlets reported, workers wiped away the Palm's iconic murals and magazine covers that lined the walls last August. Klosed principal Steven Kachanian told The Real Deal the following about the Palm space in August: "We're working with some high-end tenants looking to do some major work to the property."
So what does the sale mean for the lone tenant at No. 20 — the 40-year-plus old Grassroots Tavern? They are staying put. The bar's majority owner, Jim Stratton, also owned the building. According to a source with some background of the deal, the bar has a lease for the next five years... with an option after that for renewal."
