New York NY Real Estate & Homes For Sale

THE RETAIL MAGNATE By the late 1890s, the retail chain of Frank Woolworth was expanding so rapidly that he was able to engage Charles Pierpont Henry Gilbert, the famed architect of mansions in the French Gothic style who had just completed a prime example at Fifth Avenue and East 79th Street known today as the Ukrainian Institute, to design one for him at 80th and Fifth Avenue. In 1910, Woolworth went downtown to build his own skyscraper 792 feet high at Broadway and Park Place. At the same time, from 1911 - 1915, he engaged C.P.H. Gilbert again to design houses back uptown on East 80 Street for his daughters: 2 East 80 for Edna (Mrs. Franklyn) Hutton; 4 East 80 for Helena (Mrs. Charles) McCann and 6 East 80 for Jessie (Mrs. James) Donahue. All three townhouses remain today. Flanked by two 25' wide sister buildings, the middle mansion, 4 East 80 Street, is an astounding 35' wide, and is now offered for sale.

THE ARCHITECT: STANFORD WHITE No other architect dominated the Gilded Age to the extent of Stanford White of the esteemed firm of McKim, Mead & White. For almost 30 years, from 1879 to 1912, the firm was the architect of choice for the most glorious projects of the day: a redesign of The White House, Pennsylvania Station and the Century and Metropolitan Clubs in New York, the Boston Public Library - and the creative genius at the pinnacle of the firm was Stanford White. His residential clients were the most prestigious families of the time - Villard, Vanderbilt, Whitney, Pulitzer - but his last designs were the Henry Cook house, 973 Fifth Avenue, and its neighbor, the Payne Whitney house, completed in 1902-1905. With the design impact of a Renaissance master, White's patrons sought his taste not only in the architecture of their homes but also in choosing the furnishings, paneling, tapestries, art, landscaping and even the planning of the grand social events that would be held there. THE RESIDENCE Unlike other mansions located on side streets, this house sits directly on Fifth Avenue, with all floors facing directly into Central Park. Perfectly positioned on today's Gold Coast, this is the only mansion available for sale with a Fifth Avenue address. Designed in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style, it is remarkable that the building still possesses all the interior detail placed there by Stanford White, true to the original floor plan. Encompassing approximately 15,225 total square feet on seven levels, this mansion is unique in possessing an incomparable historical and artistic provenance, one that can never be duplicated. It is truly a home for the ages. ORIGINAL OWNER: HENRY COOK Henry Cook, who originally owned the entire block of Fifth to Madison Avenues, from East 79th to East 78th Streets, limited the height of all buildings with deed restrictions that persist to this day. His country mansion, "Wheatleigh" in Lenox, Mass, rese
