Lenox Health Greenwich Village

Lenox Health Greenwich Village is a unique 24-hour freestanding emergency department located in the historic Greenwich Village area of Manhattan. Originally built in 1964 as the headquarters for the National Maritime Union, the building showcases distinctive architecture designed by Albert C. Ledner, featuring a white façade with porthole-like windows and scalloped overhangs that evoke the feel of an ocean liner. The interior reflects maritime themes, with circular spaces that were once hiring floors. After serving various medical purposes, it was transformed into an emergency care facility in 2014, preserving its historic significance while adapting to modern healthcare needs. Visitors can appreciate both its architectural uniqueness and its role in the community's health services.
