Herbert N. Straus House, French-style townhouse in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States
The limestone residence at 9 East 71st Street extends over nine floors with large arched windows and a 15-foot oak entrance door.
Herbert Straus, heir to Macy's department store, commissioned architect Horace Trumbauer to design this residence in 1928, but never resided there due to his death in 1933.
The building served multiple functions through decades, transforming from a hospital under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese to the Birch Wathen School educational institution.
The property spans 51,000 square feet across multiple levels, making it one of the largest private residences in the Upper East Side neighborhood.
Original eighteenth-century French interior elements from this mansion now reside in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
