This house, which attempted to re-create the glories of Second Empire Paris, was built by Leonard W. Jerome as the American Jockey Club, complete with stables and a small private theatre. It later became the University Club and then the Manhattan Club after that. Though it was given landmark status, it was torn down in 1967 when a buyer couldn't be found. Jerome's grandson, child of his daughter and her husband Lord Randolph Churchill, was the famed Winston Churchill.
