Lenox Hill - 1899 - Haydel & Shepard, architects - 11 East 62nd Street | Not long after Edith Shepard Vanderbilt married Italian count Ernesto Fabbri, Edith’s mother Margaret Vanderbilt hired her nephew Augustus Shepard to design a New York home for the newlyweds. The result was this over-the-top Beaux Arts townhouse. The Fabbri’s didn’t stay for long, nor did they re-hire Edith’s cousin for their next house. In 1912 they bought land on the north side of 95th Street and commissioned Grosvenor Atterbury to design a far more restrained neo-Renaissance house. | #lenoxhill #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #beauxarts #beauxartsarchitecture #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #nrhp #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
Lenox Hill - 1925 - Mott B. Schmidt, architect - 46 East 69th Street / N. J. Booker House | The entry to this neo-Georgian house is set into an arched opening in the rusticated ground floor. The double door is flanked by Ionic columns supporting a transom over which there is a semi-circular fanlight with metal glazing bars. | #lenoxhill #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #mottbschmidt #mottschmidt #neoregency #regency #neogeorgian #georgian #neoclassical #classicalarchitecture #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #nrhp #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
Lenox Hill - 1933 - Morrell Smith, architect - 726 Madison Avenue | Smith's neo-Georgian building for the Bank of the Manhattan Trust Company features Flemish bond red brick with white marble trim. The scale and style here—for a branch location in a residential area—is that of an 18th century townhouse. The second floor features operable shutters and a balcony overlooking 64th Street. | #lenoxhill #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #morrellsmith #neogeorgian #georgian #nrhp #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
A neo-Federal design ’with Georgian overtones’ that shows study and refinement in its details; the center window is topped with bronze ornamentation consisting of sphinxes guarding a central urn. | Lenox Hill - 1916-1917 - Walker & Gillette, architects - 690 Park Avenue / Consulate General of Italy (formerly the Henry P. Davison House) | “This house is a part of an outstanding group of neo-Federal townhouses which extends along the west side of Park Avenue, between East 68th and 69th Streets, sometimes referred to as the 'Pyne-Davison Blockfront’ due to the uniform architectural quality of these houses. Rising directly from the top of the rusticated base, the high second-floor casement windows have elaborately detailed stone enframements. A Iimestone band-course separates the fourth story from the floors below and incorporates the fourth floor window sills. A simple cornice, with balustered parapet above, is the crowning feature of the facade. An attic story, with low copper roof, is hidden behind the parapet.” - Landmarks Preservation Commission | #lenoxhill #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #walkerandgillette #neofederal #federal #neogeorgian #georgian #neoclassical #classicalarchitecture #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
Museum Mile - 1929-1932 - Joseph H. Freedlander, architect - Museum of the City of New York | The exterior is a dignified affair of Flemish bond brick accented with stone trim. A band course divides the first floor from the second with the taller 12-over-12 windows of the 'piano nobile' resting on a narrow sill course. The corners are quoined and the flat arched window heads are keyed. An entablature crowns the facade: a cornice with projecting mutules and a dentil band is directly below the roof over a smooth frieze and a simple architrave. | #museummile #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #josephhfreedlander #josephfreedlander #museumofthecityofnewyork #neogeorgian #georgian #neoclassical #classicalarchitecture #nrhp #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
Lenox Hill - 1933 - Delano & Aldrich, architects - 101 East 69th Street / Union Club | The generously decorated facade features pronounced rustication up to just below the short fourth floor bedroom windows which are interspersed with panels forming a frieze below the cornice. Principal rooms for dining, reading and cards are below; the second floor, an entresol, is also short. Above it all, on the fifth floor and hidden behind a high mansard, are spaces for recreation and relaxation: squash courts, a Turkish bath—and a tented dressing room lounge with two fireplaces outfitted in rattan. | “Mr. Delano’s desire for a simple design was not shared by club members, Mr. Pennoyer and Ms. Walker note, citing a quotation from his memoirs: ‘The Building Committee insisted on a good deal of ornament inside and out, which they were used to at the old club.’ - nytimes.com | #lenoxhill #uppereastside #uppereast #ues #delanoandaldrich #neogeorgian #georgian #neoclassical #classicalarchitecture #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #nrhp #thisplacematters #savingplaces #lpcnyc #historicpreservation
Situated in the oldest part of the clubhouse, this reading room was originally the club's largest and held the library. In 1905 as part of the club's first expansion, McKim added a beautiful plaster ceiling and a pair of marble fireplaces. | Midtown - 1894/1905 - Charles F. McKim, architect - Harvard Club | #midtown #mckimmeadandwhite #harvardclub #harvardclubnyc #lpcnyc #nrhp #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #thisplacematters #savingplaces #historicpreservation
