Harry F. Sinclair House, French Gothic mansion in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States.

The residence features limestone ashlar facades, Gothic arched windows, and a curved pavilion overlooking Fifth Avenue and East 79th Street intersection.

Built between 1897 and 1899, the mansion passed through several owners including Isaac Fletcher, Harry Sinclair, and the descendants of Peter Stuyvesant.

Located at 2 East 79th Street, the mansion contains 27 rooms across six floors, with the first three floors maintaining their original architectural design.
