Murray Hill
 

                    Murray Hill is probably best known for its proximity to the most famous building in the
                    world, the Empire State Building. Aside from the historic landmark, the area is also a
                    center of business, and the site of many clubs, churches, hi-rise apartment buildings,
                    brownstone mansions and restaurants.

                  This neighborhood is named after Robert Murray whose 18th Century
                  farm is now Murray Hill. Murray Hill’s most historic landmark is the
                  Pierpont Morgan Library on 36th Street and Madison Avenue. It was
                  designed by architect Charles McKim in 1906 and funded by industrialist
                  J.P. Morgan.
