A Storied Past:
Among its notable residents was famed anthropologist Margaret Mead, who lived here for more than a decade. During her time at 193 Waverly Place, she published several books and co-authored works with fellow anthropologist Dr. Rhoda Bubendey Metraux, who also resided in the house. The two remained here until 1966. The townhouse's handsome facade even made its cinematic debut in the film Author! Author!, with Al Pacino once photographed on its storied stoop.
