On a quiet tree-lined residential street in historical Greenwich Village in downtown New York, young women may find a warm and welcoming home. The name of this place is the Markle Residence, located at 123 West 13th Street. Built in 1930 and renovated in 2004, the 17 story residence was originally constructed to provide young business women, many on on their own for the first time, with the comfort and influence of a Christian home. Thousands of young women of various backgrounds have called the Markle home over the years. The moderate cost accomodations and wholesome atmosphere have always made an attractive alternative to other available forms of housing.
