In 1990, 53 Christopher Street was leased to a new bar named New Jimmy's at Stonewall Place and about a year later the bar's owner changed the name to Stonewall. None of the original Stonewall Inn's interior finishes remain. A bar named Stonewall operated out of 51 Christopher Street in 1987–1989 when it closed, the historic vertical sign was removed from the building's facade. The Stonewall Inn in New York went out of business shortly after the uprising and was leased as two separate spaces to a number of different businesses over the years. The original Inn, which operated between 19, was located at 51–53 Christopher Street, between Seventh Avenue South and Waverly Place. The Stonewall Inn, often shortened to Stonewall, is a gay bar and recreational tavern in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City, and the site of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which is widely considered to be the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States. On June 24, 2016, President Obama designated the Stonewall Inn as part of the ' Stonewall National Monument' (video).
