Built in 1884, the three-story, 20-foot-wide building is part of the Noho East Historic District and could be configured into a single-family mansion.
The cultural landmark, at 9 Bleecker St. in Noho , served as the headquarters for the Yippies led by ’60s icons Abbie and Anita Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Nancy Kurshan and Paul Krassner — for 41 years.
The Yippies were founded by political activists in 1967 in part to protest the Vietnam War. By 1973, the Bleecker Street building had become Yippie central. Before that, it was home to the Diggers, a San Francisco-based group of “community anarchists,” who provided free food and clothing to hippies and others in need.
Now, the lease is up and the building, which still features much of its Yippie-era counterculture décor and remains an offbeat tourist mecca, is for sale by Centech, which owns the building’s mortgage.
