James Speyer House, Mansion at 1058 Fifth Avenue, Upper East Side, Manhattan, US.

The residence featured three main stories with a set-back attic, displaying five bays on Fifth Avenue and seven bays on the side street.

James Speyer, a prominent New York banker and head of Speyer & Co, commissioned this residence during the early part of the twentieth century.

The mansion represented the architectural preferences of New York's financial elite, incorporating classical design elements with modern construction methods of the period.

The building included a sunken basement with a light well that provided natural illumination to the lower level of the structure.

The upper two floors connected through a system of pilasters, creating a distinct vertical emphasis in the classical facade design.
