The original townhomes on Milligan Place, located off Sixth Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets, date from the mid-1800s. This Greenwich Village, NewYork alley was once accessed from Christopher Street, but is now approached through a locked iron gate on Sixth Avenue. Among the former distinguished residents of Milligan Place is the famed playwright Eugene O’Neill. We have not found another impression at auction in the past 30 years. Cortissoz/Clayton 312.
