The Secret Courtyard

I've been re-listening to "classic" episodes of the excellent H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (which has moved from covering only the stories of H.P. Lovecraft into a lot of classic weird fiction) and got to the coverage tonight of the minor story He. That sparked a memory and I tracked down an excellent bit of deduction by Scouting New York (another excellent site). Take a journey into Greenwich Village and the setting that inspired one of Lovecraft's tales.
