Stuyvesant Fish House

This brick and limestone residence at 25 East 78th Street features the architectural elements characteristic of Stanford White's design principles.

The mansion was constructed in 1898 for railroad executive Stuyvesant Fish, who commissioned McKim, Mead and White architectural firm for the project.

The house represents late 19th century architectural preferences of New York City's upper class, incorporating Italianate design elements into urban mansions.

In 2006, Michael Bloomberg acquired the property to establish the headquarters of Bloomberg Philanthropies and Willett Advisors.

The residence stands at a prominent intersection where Madison Avenue meets East 78th Street, marking the transition between residential and commercial zones.
