SOLVED. Set in Greenwich Village, NY [s]

[Marie]

Hello, I am looking for a book I read in the 1980's, published in the 1970's or 1980's. set in Victorian times. I only remember it had a somber tone...I thought it was called "Village" or something similar, but I am having no success finding it. Any ideas? :-)

Any idea of what was happening in the book--gang violence, mystery, adventure?
