tear down the marx brothers heritage and potential millions in visitation ????? oh but wait we could put up a mosque in ny near atrocities instead ?????????fight hard peeps you heritage and blood of brothers and sisters DEMANDS IT.
@leianog - The Marx Brothers childhood home still stands as of today (New Year's day). But thanks to getting stabbed in the back by our own City Council member - Dan Garodnick - the block is NOT under consideration for landmarking so ANY of the houses could be sold and demolished at any time. That is what has already happen just across the street from The Marx Brothers House and the block remains on the endangered historic structures list.
Sadly, no: Our own City Council Member Dan Garodnick torpedoed the effort at the Community Bd Meeting the night after the Bd's Landmarks Committee had voted overwhelmingly to support the designation.
So now, thanks to Garodnick, the entire block & house remain vulnerable to the ticking clock of the wrecking ball. There's a reason your mother told you to never trust a politician.
Of course the Mayor could protect the iconic block & house: Please watch The Doggy Movie on this same channel!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. This is sad. I worship the Marx Bros. I will do everything I can to help, and if it comes down to it, I will lay in front of a bulldozer.

I hope it got saved. It should be made into a commemorative museum.

Hi The Facebook page is locked, and I don't have access. So... what has happened to the house? I hope it's still standing. Cheers from Montréal.

I'm so sick of historic homes being demolished. Why would they do such things? Especially to the Marx Brother's childhood home. F developers!

This is a very worthy cause. We need to post this often on our facebook pages. What a crime
