In the Margaret Sanger Clinic, discreetly housed in a brick townhouse at 17 West 16th Street, New York City, (Edward Mesier, architect, 1846), Margaret Sanger promoted safe, harmless contraception from 1930 to 1973.[2] Margaret Sanger whose close friend Otto Bobsein is credited with first using the term "birth control"[1] in 1914, had over 30 nurses assisting patients and training other medical practitioners.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.[1][3][4][5]
It is now privately owned.
