In its day, 35 Cooper Square — then known as 391 Bowery — was part of a community of grocers, hatters and boot and shoe makers on the Bowery. Farther east and west of the bustling square, farmers still tended fields. After the Stuyvesants moved on (Nicholas died in 1833), the building housed poets, artists, actors, saloons and storefronts. And it became creative inspiration for figures like Diane di Prima, the Beat Generation “poet priestess,” who wrote in her autobiography, “Recollections of My Life as a Woman,” “When I first laid eyes on 35 Cooper Square, I knew it was the fulfillment of all those fantasies of art and the artist’s life. ... It was my dream house.” -- NY Times
