no, because of the wikipedia entry on bank street.

but an interesting article.

Pottel, in that article it's said the name of the street and the number of the house, actually is the source that uses the Wikipedia entry to say the number of the house.

so it would be this appartment, not with the 'A' and not the one with the red door but the one in between.

Suppose it must've been convenient!

Great thread indeed. Thanks for the research.

Do we know exactly in what time period (from when to when) Mk lived in New York? I remember a Notting Hillbillies Album radio interview around 1990 where I said that Boris used to come by occasionally and train for the US Open on Mark's tennis court if I remember correctly?

In that article I mentioned to Pottel it says that MK bought that house as a wedding present to Lourdes, if my memory serves, that was on 1983 and I don´t know when they divorced, but I guess that after the OES tour so probably, at least MK; left that house around that time.

I think Mark started to live in us prior to 83.

Jack Sonni could probably give us some light about that time as they were quite close then.

I would think Guy might know a thing or two as well.

just saying that i did not find it through the article, but through wikipedia that is all...

In the US, tax and land parcel ownership information is a matter of public record. I'm posting this for only that exact reason i.e. anyone can look this up. Mark purchased 36 Bank St. from Lionel Chute, who seems to be a relatively unknown actor, in November of 1982 for $319K. He satisfied the mortgage in full in November of 1985. (Remember, he toured the NYC area the month prior.) He then sold it for an undisclosed amount in December of 1993. Now, the deed doesn't specifically state Mark's name of course. His trust at the time was a company named "Charisong Inc.", whose sole employees were...Mark & Lourdes Knopfler.    Charisong Inc. was dissolved in 1994.

Dan, is there anyway to find out where MK lived in NY before he purchased that house? Just in case that wasnt his first house in the city.
