C. Ledyard Blair House, Beaux-Arts mansion at Fifth Avenue and East 70th Street, US.
The limestone mansion featured iron balconies on the second-story windows and contained 66 rooms across 7,300 square feet of living space.
Built between 1914 and 1917 for banker C. Ledyard Blair, the residence was designed by architectural firm Carrère & Hastings at a cost of 200,000 dollars.
The mansion served as a venue for notable social gatherings, including a 1919 luncheon celebrating the marriage of C. Ledyard Blair's daughter.
The property was sold in 1926 for 1.25 million dollars, marking the highest price per square foot for residential real estate in Manhattan at that time.
The gardens of this mansion connected directly to those of the Henry Clay Frick House, creating an expansive green space in Upper East Side Manhattan.
