William Salomon house, Historic residence on Fifth Avenue at 83rd Street, Manhattan, United States
The William Salomon House was constructed in 1906 as a marble-walled mansion spanning three consolidated plots near Central Park.
William Salomon, founder of an international banking firm, purchased the former Arnold residence in 1900 and invested 1.3 million dollars to create this mansion.
The residence contained fifteen Italian old masters paintings, Louis XVI furniture, and a Beauvais tapestry originally made for Marie Antoinette.
The mansion stood next to the Frederick W. Vanderbilt residence and became a center for high-society musical performances during the early 1900s.
In 1923, the house contents were sold in the third largest auction of its kind in United States history, dispersing decades of collected artworks.
