647 Fifth Avenue, Neoclassical townhouse on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States
The six-story stone residence features arched openings on the first floor, fluted pilasters across the second and third levels, and decorative balustrades.
Built in 1905 by architects Hunt & Hunt, this townhouse formed half of the Marble Twins commissioned by George Vanderbilt during Fifth Avenue's residential period.
The residence represented the final stand of Manhattan's elite families against commercial development, marking the transition of Fifth Avenue from residential to retail.
The building maintains its historic exterior while functioning as retail space, with Versace occupying the location from 1996 to 2018.
The structure remains one of the last surviving private mansions from the Gilded Age period on Fifth Avenue between 42nd and 59th Streets.
