The James G.D. and Harriet Lanier House holds a distinguished place in New York City's architectural history, having been designated a New York City landmark in 1979 and later added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Built between 1901 and 1903 by Hoppin & Koen, formerly of McKim, Mead and White, this magnificent home showcases a blend of Italianate and Second Empire architectural styles. With a width of 33 feet and a depth of 75 feet, the house stands proudly in the Murray Hill historic district at 123 East 35th Street with its eight stories, twelve bedrooms, nine baths, and three powder rooms.
Its iconic facade boasts two-story pilasters, an exquisite copper mansard roof, intricate stonework, ornate cornices, and a grand stone porch. Regarded as one of the finest residential works in New York City, the house spans an impressive 11,638 square feet and currently serves as a single-family residence. Recently, this architectural gem was listed on the market for a staggering $33,000,000, a testament to its timeless beauty and historical significance.
