Percy Rivington Pyne House
Percy Rivington Pyne House, Federal townhouse at Park Avenue and 68th Street, Manhattan, United States.
The Percy Rivington Pyne House spans 21,869 square feet across its neo-Federal structure, featuring symmetrical windows and classical architectural elements throughout the exterior.
McKim, Mead & White designed this residence in 1911 for Percy Rivington Pyne II, grandson of Moses Taylor, founder of First National City Bank.
From 1948 to 1963, this building served as the headquarters for the Soviet Mission to the United Nations, marking a period of diplomatic presence.
The building now functions as the Americas Society headquarters at 680 Park Avenue, offering cultural programs and maintaining its original architectural features.
Margaret Rockefeller Strong de Larraín saved the structure from demolition in 1965 by purchasing and donating it to the Americas Society.
