Otto and Addie Kahn House ARCHITECT: J. Armstrong Stenhouse; C. P. H. Gilbert DATE: 1913-18 STYLE: Italian Renaissance

Among its important qualities, the Otto Kahn House is the finest Italian Renaissance style mansion in New York City. It belonged to a great patron of the arts, and was almost unique at the date of its erection in its simplicity and purity of detail, and that, although it is prominently located on a Fifth Avenue corner site, it is most notable for its restrained and quiet dignity.
