The neo-Renaissance building, which includes some late gothic features, was built around 1900 for Jeremiah C Lyons, who was instrumental in the development of New York City. The architects who designed it, Buchman & Fox, also masterminded the Bonwit Teller building at Fifth Avenue and 39th Street and the Annex of the New York Times in 1915.
The property even comes with air rights of 15,000ft, meaning you’ll be able to erect a really big flag telling everybody that you’re one of the richest people in NYC.
The property is on the market with Corcoran in partnership with John Taylor. For further information, buyers can call 001 212 355 3550.
