46 West 55th Street, Neoclassical townhouse in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
The five-story building features red and black brick exterior with limestone moldings and a slightly outward-bowed facade on its first four levels.
Originally constructed in 1869 by Thomas Thomas, the building underwent a complete transformation in 1903 under architect Edward Lippincott Tilton's neoclassical design.
The structure represents the evolution of Manhattan townhouses from private residences to commercial spaces, reflecting the changing dynamics of New York City.
The building stands between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue, providing direct access to multiple subway lines and Central Park within walking distance.
The structure contains distinctive Flemish bond brickwork patterns and remains one of only two known Manhattan rowhouses modified by architect Edward Lippincott Tilton.
