Gracie Mansion is located in Carl Shurz park. When Parks Commissioner Robert Moses convinced City authorities to designate it as the official residence of the Mayor of New York City in 1942, Fiorello H. La Guardia moved in. The Gracie Mansion Conservancy was established in 1981, and under its guidance, the first major restoration was undertaken between 1981 and 1984. In 2002, the interior and exterior were again restored, and the house was transformed into the "People's House" with increased accessibility to the public and to City agencies.
