The Barbara Rutherford Hatch House is a residential building at 153 East 63rd Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. It was constructed between 1917 and 1919. It was designed by Frederick J. Sterner and patterned after a French Renaissance-style chateau. The house is three stories high, with a stucco facade, red-tile roof, and interior courtyard. Originally built for Barbara Cairncross Rutherfurd and Cyril Hatch, it has been occupied over the years by the producer Charles Dillingham, the engineer Charles Lawrance, the performer Gypsy Rose Lee, the artist Jasper Johns, and the filmmaker Spike Lee. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places both individually and as a contributing property to the Upper East Side Historic District, and it is also a New York City designated landmark.

Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station

The Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station (formerly Lexington Avenue) is a New York City Subway station in Lenox Hill, Manhattan, shared by the IND and BMT 63rd Street Lines. Located at the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street, it is served by the: F and Q trains at all times limited rush hour N trains in the southbound direction only trains during rush hours in the peak direction one A.M. rush hour R train in the northbound direction onlyThe station has two platform levels; trains headed southbound to downtown and Brooklyn use the upper level, while trains headed northbound to uptown and Queens use the lower level. This is one of the deepest stations in the subway system, requiring several banks of long escalators or elevators. Construction started at this station in 1969, but as a result of the New York City fiscal crisis in 1975, the station did not open until 1989. Originally, the station was intended to be a transfer point for Sixth Avenue/Queens Boulevard and Broadway/Second Avenue services. As such, the station was designed to allow for cross-platform interchanges on both levels. However, construction of the Second Avenue Subway was halted in 1975 during the station's construction. As a result, the north side of the station, intended for service to Second Avenue, was hidden with a temporary orange brick wall, and space intended for an exit at Third Avenue was left unused. While the south side of the station opened for service in 1989, the north side was only used for storing trains. In 2007, construction resumed on the Second Avenue Subway, and the north side of the station was renovated so it could be used. The orange wall on the platform was removed, while beige-white wall tiles were installed on the station walls adjacent to the tracks. The unopened entrance at Third Avenue was fitted with multiple elevators, and the station's false ceiling was removed. The first phase of the Second Avenue Subway opened on January 1, 2017, and ridership has increased at the station since then.
