Wave Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a New York City designated landmark.

The original Wave Hill House was a gray fieldstone mansion built in 1843 by lawyer William Lewis Morris.

[2] During these years, the house was visited by Thomas Henry Huxley, who helped Charles Darwin bring evolution by natural selection to the public's attention.

Other famous residents of the estate included the conductor Arturo Toscanini (1942–1945) and chief members of the British Delegation to the United Nations (1950–1956).

The Cafe includes indoor eating areas and access to the Kate French Terrace located behind the Wave Hill House.
