The carriage house itself dates back to the 1850s, originally serving as horse stables before its conversion into an art studio by the Menconi Brothers in 1919. Its rich history includes notable residents like actress Elizabeth Ashley and playwright Neil Simon, and it has even appeared in films such as Woody Allen’s Bullets Over Broadway and TV shows like Law & Order and Blue Bloods .
