St. Luke's Place, the designation for a beautiful block of Leroy Street in the lower West Village west of 7th Avenue, is worth visiting just for its charming vine-covered Greek and Renaissance Revival townhouses, but it also exudes some powerful literary history including #1, artist Theodore Roszak, #6, Mayor Jimmy Walker', #10, publisher Max Eastman and later, Timothy O'Leary, #12 Sherwood Anderson, #14 poet Marianne Moore, #15 painter Paul Cadmus, and #16, Theodore Dreiser.
