By the 1950s the place was known as Stonewall Inn Restaurant. After numerous alterations, the two buildings were joined into a restaurant by the 1930s. Located at 51-53 Christopher Street, Stonewall Inn was formerly two adjacent two-story stable houses erected in 18. This sculpture by George Segal (1924–2000) honors the gay rights movement and commemorates the events at the Stonewall Inn opposite this park that gave rise to the movement.
