William K. Vanderbilt House, French Renaissance mansion in Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States
The Petit Chateau displayed a gray Indiana limestone facade with late French Gothic elements and an asymmetrical design at 660 Fifth Avenue.
William K. Vanderbilt commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to construct this residence in 1878, which remained until its demolition in 1927.
The mansion's grand hall extended 60 feet with Caen stone walls, while the banquet room featured Gothic details and stained glass by Eugene Oudinot.
The building contained specialized spaces including a walnut-paneled parlor and a library decorated with 16th-century French Renaissance elements.
Alva Vanderbilt hosted a masquerade ball for 1,000 guests in March 1883, spending the equivalent of three million dollars on this single event.
