One of Manhattan’s most notable residences, 123 East 35th Street was built between 1901 and 1903 for James and Harriet Lanier.
Lanier’s grandfather was James Franklin Doughty Lanier, co-founder of one of the oldest private banks in New York, Winslow, Lanier & Co.
Part of the who’s-who in New York’s high society, the couple were no. 137 and 138 on Ward McAllister’s famous Four Hundred list, representing the number of guests who could fit into Mrs. Astor’s Fifth Avenue mansion ballroom.
The Gilded Age mansion was built by architectural firm Hoppin & Koen in Lanier’s preferred Parisian Beaux-Arts style.
Considered one of the firm's finest residential designs in New York City, the iconic facade is 33 feet wide—double that of a typical brownstone—and makes a striking impression with Ionic pilasters and a classic copper mansard roof, intricate stonework and cornices, and a stately stone porch.
Solid tiger oak double doors open to a vestibule with decorative iron and golf leaf gates and the spectacular white marble entrance hall, with a rose medallion ceiling and antique crystal chandelier.
The white marble continues into the fabulous gallery, adorned with carved niches and a marble fountain.
Featuring Gilded Age detailing throughout with original parquet floors, gilded sconces and Ionic pilasters, the palatial residence spans 11,638 square feet across 8 stories, with 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 3 powder rooms.
