In addition at my Book Signing Opening Party Photo I am pictured with the President and Vice President of Tilden Club and National Arts Club O.

Just yesterday my book was donated and accepted into the Yale Law Library, the first University Mr. Tilden attended and where I first discovered him by accident on a dusty old shelf.

The 20th and 21st Century - Tilden is still honored.
The Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Club is a reform Democratic Club in the 74th Assembly District of New York City. We strive to elect qualified candidates to public office and act as a liaison between government and our constituents.
Annual Tilden Dinner - The National Arts Club is located in the historic Tilden Mansion. 15 Gramercy Park was built in the 1840's and its original flat-front, iron-grilled appearance matched the style of the houses still maintained on the west side of Gramercy Park. Samuel Tilden acquired 15 Gramercy Park in the 1860's, and in the 1870's gave the house a massive overhaul. Tilden hired Calvert Vaux, a famed architect and one of the designers of Central Park to "victorianize" the facade with sandstone, bay windows and Gothic Ornamentation. John LaFarge created stained glass ceilings for the inside of the mansion, and Italian wood carvers made the fireplaces. Glass master Donald MacDonald wrought a unique stained glass dome for the building. All of this prompted architect Philip Johnson to call the mansion, "among the most beautiful in New York." Spencer Trask and the Board of Governors acquired the Tilden Mansion in 1906 as the new home for the National Arts Club.
