WHAT MAKES THIS A BUNGALUX
A historic masterpiece on Fifth Avenue
- • A History Lesson: This mansion was designed by Gilded Age architect Stanford White of the esteemed firm of McKim, Mead & White.
- • The firm was the architect of choice for the most glorious projects of the day: A redesign of The White House, Pennsylvania Station, the Metropolitan Club, and the Boston Public Library.
- • White's 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.
- • 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.
- • Unlike other mansions, which sit on side streets, this one is the ONLY one to face Central Park on Fifth Avenue. It is the only NY mansion with a Fifth Avenue address.
