HistoryThe buildings were built in 1883–84 and were designed as a pair by German-born architect William Schickel. They were designed in the neo-Italian Renaissance style, with Philadelphia pressed brick facades ornamented in terra cotta, a relatively new building material to New York.[2] The buildings were a gift to the City of New York by philanthropists Oswald Ottendorfer, a German immigrant and publisher of the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, the city's largest German-language newspaper, and his wife Anna Ottendorfer.[3][4] The Ottendorfer Library was the second branch of the New York Free Circulating Library, and is currently the oldest library in the city to occupy its original building. It opened on December 7, 1884.[4] Even before the library opened, the Ottendorfers had donated their own collection of books to the NYFL.[4] The Stuyvesant Clinic was originally known as the "German Dispensary", and was affiliated with the German Hospital uptown, now Lenox Hill Hospital. It provided free medical care to German immigrants on the Lower East Side on the model of the Northern Dispensary in Greenwich Village.[2][3] In 1905, the German Hospital began plans to build a dispensary uptown, closer to the hospital, and better located to serve the growing German population of Yorkville. It sold the building in 1906 to another medical charity, the German Polyklinik.[2] This name was changed to "Stuyvesant Polyclinic" due to the anti-German sentiment connected with the entrance of the United States into World War I.[2][11] The hospital building features terra cotta busts of Hippocrates, Aulus Cornelius Celsus, Alexander von Humboldt, Linnaeus and Antoine Lavoisier, among others.[2][3][11] The building was restored in 2009 by David Mayerfied.[5] The Stuyvesant Polyclinic building was designated a New York City landmark in 1976, and the Ottendorfer Library in 1977, with its interior being designated in 1981.[6] Both buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
