Northern Dispensary

  • Address: 165 Waverly Pl., Greenwich Village, New York, NY | Map It

Fodor's Review:

Edgar Allan Poe was a frequent patient at the triangular dispensary, built in 1831 as a private medical clinic for indigent Villagers. The weird Georgian brick building has one side on two streets (Grove and Christopher streets where they meet) and two sides facing one street -- Waverly Place, which splits in two directions. Sadly you can't visit the interior.

  • Metro: A, B, C, D, E,F, V to West 4th St.
