Henry Clay Frick House, Mansion in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States.

The Henry Clay Frick House features three floors of limestone construction with a grand entrance on East 70th Street near Fifth Avenue.

Built between 1912 and 1914 by Carrère and Hastings architects, this residence belonged to steel industrialist Henry Clay Frick until his death in 1919.

The mansion houses a collection of European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts that Frick assembled during his lifetime as an art collector.

Visitors enter through 70th Street into a marble-clad vestibule, with the main exhibition spaces located throughout the first floor of the building.

The Fragonard Room displays large-scale painted panels that were specifically transported from France and integrated into the mansion's architectural design.
