Willard D. Straight House, Georgian Revival mansion in Carnegie Hill, United States.

The Willard D. Straight House features red brick construction with white marble trim, black shutters, and floor-to-ceiling windows on the second level.

Built in 1915 by architects Delano & Aldrich, the mansion became the Audubon Society headquarters in 1952 and later housed the International Center of Photography.

The residence exemplifies early 20th-century architectural preferences among wealthy New Yorkers who chose Georgian Revival designs over limestone and marble palaces.

Located at 1130 Fifth Avenue at 94th Street, the mansion stands within walking distance of Central Park and numerous Upper East Side cultural institutions.

The ground floor contains a circular hallway crowned by a dome and features a distinctive black and white marble floor pattern.
