​A National Historic Landmark

The building 107 Water Street, including Merrill’s apartment on the 3rd and 4th floors was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016. Two of the former street-level tenants occupied their retail spaces for over 50 years and knew Merrill as their landlord and friend. The second-floor rental apartments maintain their late Victorian façade and floor plans. The building remains much as Merrill left it and still conjures the poet’s aura.
