A preservation group is asking the city to grant landmark designation to the interior of the White Horse Tavern, the legendary New York literati gathering spot that was recently sold.
In what is a relatively rare request, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (also known as Village Preservation) urged the City’s Landmark Preservation Commission to consider preserving the interior of 567 Hudson Street. The exterior of the building, falls under the Greenwich Village Historic District and is already protected as a landmark.
Notable White Horse Tavern regulars included Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Dan Denton, and Jim Morrison.
