Washington Square North - "The Heiress" Territory

Washington Square North's very old townhouses are now all part of NYU...it used to some lucky professors lived in them, now I believe they are all Admin.

This was the setting for "The Heiress film"-- summed up neatly by Wikipedia

The Heiress is a 1949 American drama film directed by William Wyler and starring Olivia de Havilland as Catherine Sloper, Montgomery Clift as Morris Townsend, and Ralph Richardson as Dr. Sloper. Written by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, adapted from their 1947 play The Heiress, the film is about a young naive woman who falls in love with a handsome young man, despite the objections of her emotionally abusive father who suspects the man of being a fortune hunter. The story is based on the 1880 novel Washington Square by Henry James.^[2][3]
