Marx Brothers Place is the NYC block where the beloved childhood home of the Marx Brothers still stands - as of today. But, since Marx Brothers Place is but one block shy of the boundary for the Carnegie Hill Historic District, the Marx Borthers House and every other house on th block remains vulnerable to demolition. Three beautiful 19th century houses have already been demolished to make room for a modern CONDO-Complex! So we REALLY need your help TODAY!

Please join Harpo's son, Bill Marx; Woody Allen; Bob Weide and so many others who have signed the petitions (2) to extend the CH Historic District to include Marx Brothers Place, and to ask NYC to officially co-name East 93rd Street between Lexington & Third Avenues 'Marx Brothers Place'.

Thanks!

We have the same problem over here. Instead of resteurateing old classic buildnings they just let them decay, and then build some horrible funkis buildning . bah. You know the iold saying "You don't know what you got until it's gone."

This is a piece of history, NY history and needs to be preserved as such. Thanks so much for passing this along, grouchobeer-- I'll be glad to help any way I can (once a NY-er, always a NY-er, even across the world)!

I've signed. This is an important part of Americana. Developers have a lousy sense of heritage. The Mayor and the City Council need to truly represent their city on this one and preserve this important piece of old New York charm and ambience.

I am going to Freedonia Marxonia 2009 this weekend, as well as a performance of AN EVENING WITH GROUCHO, and I will spread the word.
