		In the mid-19th century, however, as the city spread north of 14th Street, the Village became the province of immigrants, bohemians, and students (New York University [NYU], today the nation's largest private university, was planted next to Washington Square in 1831).
		The narrowest house in New York City, only nine and a half feet wide, its occupants including Edna St. Vincent Millay and John Barrymore, is on Bedford Street, and the smallest parcel of private property in the country, a twenty-five-inch triangle, sits on the corner of Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue.
		Iconography is the essence of the Village's history -- what it stands for has always transcended what it is. To say that the myths should be disentangled from the "reality" -- the usual obligation of the historian -- is to ignore the fact that their entanglement is its history.
