Edward S. Harkness Residence ca. 1910 The latter-day town house on Fifth Avenue was indeed a splendid affair, complete with elevators, imported rooms, basements, subbasements, and quarters for legions of servants. This stone palazzo was built for the ages; one of the few Fifth Avenue mansions remaining.

1 East 75th Street ARCHITECT: Hale & Rogers DATE: 1907-08 STYLE: Italian Renaissance This imposing residence in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo is outstanding not only for the excellence of design and beauty of execution but also for a subtle richness of detail. Five stories high with basement and sub-basement, its dignity and quiet elegance are due in part to the large plain wall areas of Tennessee marble and the sparing but effective use of ornament.
