NYFE Summary
The banker who lived here helped finance the Metropolitan Opera and supported theater and visiting musicians. The residence provided space for his art collection, concerts and exhibitions. Sacred Heart bought it in 1934 and continues to use it as a school.
Large wooden carriage doors face the side street. Above them, the window tops alternate between triangular and curved shapes. The broad limestone walls and roof balustrade can be seen from the surrounding public sidewalks.
