History

The home was designed in the French Beaux-Arts style by architect Horace Trumbauer of Philadelphia and constructed in 1906[1] for financier George Jay Gould, the eldest son of railroad magnate Jay Gould. It replaced the Neo-Gothic style Jay Gould House, which was demolished. The new house was designed both to complement and outshine the Isaac Stern House next door, at 858 Fifth Avenue.

In 1923, the house was bought by Harry Payne Whitney, and in late 1925, it became the residence of his mother-in-law, Alice Claypoole Vanderbilt. After her death in 1934, it was inherited by her youngest child Gladys, Countess Széchenyi.

The site is now occupied by a white brick building completed in 1963, which contains 17 apartments.[2]
