 Katharine Hepburn lived in a brownstone at 244 East 49th Street from 1931 until the 1990s.  The four-story house is located in Turtle Bay Gardens, two rows of houses on 48th and 49th streets with their gardens arranged as a common space, with a wide stone path down the center and a fountain said to be modeled after one at the Villa Medici in Rome.

Spot the iron turtles built into the railings separating the houses from the sidewalk.

Other famous residents of Turtle Bay Gardens have included composer Stephen Sondheim and famed singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.  E.B. White wrote Charlotte's Web while living here.
