Many of the remaining carriage houses in New York are located on the Upper East side, where they served the upper class during the gilded age. If you look hard enough, however, you can still find some of these wonderful buildings further downtown. This particular one is located at 136 West 18th Street in Chelsea. It was build in 1865 for the Gilman Family who lived on West 20th Street. It was later sold to Charles Landon and Benjamin Hutton, brother in laws and business partners, who ran a successful fabric importing business. They used it for their house on 14th Street, Hutton lived there first then moved out and sold it to Landon, before renting it out. Over the years it has been home to various businesses and has been used as a garage. Currently it is home to the shop of artist Michael Aram. 136 West 18th was landmarked by The City of New York on December 11th, 1990.
