The Samuel J. Tilden House was the home of Samuel J. Tilden, former governor of the U.S. state of New York, fierce opponent of the Tweed Ring and Tammany Hall. He lived in the brownstone from 1860 until his death in 1885. [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/76001251.nl.pdf NL Writeup] ]

Tilden

Tilden ran for president in 1876, winning the popular vote, but losing the electoral college to Rutherford B. Hayes. This was one of the end points of the Reconstruction. In those tumultuous times, he had both rolling steel doors and a secret escape tunnel. ["AIA Guide to New York City", 4th Edition, pg 207]

National Arts Club

Since 1906 the National Arts Club, a private arts club, has occupied the house. Since it is on Gramercy Park, the members have key access.
