Edward S. Harkness House
House in Manhattan, New York
The Edward S. Harkness House, located at 1 East 75th Street and Fifth Avenue, is a mansion in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was constructed between 1907 and 1908 for Edward and Mary Harkness by James Gamble Rogers, a principal of the firm Hale & Rogers.[1]
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the house as a landmark in 1967. Its designation report described the building as "an imposing residence in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo."
