1871 House in New York City
This classic townhouse, constructed in 1871, is located in the East 60s on a Landmarked block amid Manhattan's most fashionable and desirable neighborhoods on the Upper East Side. Flanked by Prestigious Park and Lexington Avenues, the lovely tree-lined block is composed of stately townhouses and stylish brownstones. Located just three blocks from Central Park, with convenient access to both LaGuardia and JFK airports, 1871 House is ideal for business travelers and tourists. Madison Avenue's chic boutiques, stylish cafes and world-renowned museums are just a short walk away. Two of New York's finest departments stores, Barney's and Bloomingdales are located just around the corner. Guests are within easy walking distance to New York's finest restaurants as well as to antique shops, galleries, and specialty stores. Midtown corporate addresses are also within walking distance. The Unofficial Guide to Bed and breakfasts and Country Inns in the Mid-Atlantic 1st edition (2002) recently awarded 1871 House four stars (out of five)! Their review says "privacy and exclusivity with easy access to the best of urban New York City". 1871 House has been voted the B&B with "Best for Pampering Yourself" by inngoers in Arrington's Bed & Breakfast Journal's 2003 Book of Lists! The rooms reflect a gracious prewar style and retain the Old World Charm of the original moldings, details, and fireplaces. Many of the rooms, including the bedrooms, have ornate marble or wood mantelpieces. Furnishings throughout the house strike a balanced mixture of antiques and reproductions.
About the innkeepers:
Warren L. Raum was born in a Connecticut suburb of New York City. As an undergraduate student he majored in Finance. He is currently working on his MBA. On occasion, when allowed, Warren works with his wife Lia on the operations, business strategies, and quality of the 1871 House. Lia Raum grew up in New York City and graduated from Barnard College. In addressing Barnard's language study requirement, Lia studied French, Italian and Spanish. Upon graduation, Lia traveled to Italy, France, England and Spain. Other countries visited include Mexico, Israel, Canada, and Greece. These travel experiences have given Lia extensive exposure to the hospitality industry and its unique requirements. Currently Lia oversees the affairs and administration of the 1871 House and spends most of her spare time with her husband and two daughters. Extra-curricular interests include gardening and interior design. To that end Lia has done all the gardening (consisting of terrace and patio potting gardens) and the interior design of the individual rooms at the 1871 House.
