Edward J. Berwind House, Grand residential mansion on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.

The Edward J. Berwind House features a red brick and limestone facade with an arched entryway supported by polished granite columns at 828 Fifth Avenue.

Built in 1896 by architect Nathan Clark Mellen, the mansion belonged to Edward J. Berwind, who held the largest bituminous coal reserves in the United States.

The interior spaces were crafted by French firm Jules Allard & Son with formal reception areas and grand staircases reflecting the architectural preferences of Manhattan's elite.

The building includes a glass penthouse addition and has been divided into multiple residential apartments while maintaining its original architectural elements.

A distinctive limestone-walled light moat surrounds the property on the 64th Street side, preventing pedestrians from looking directly into the lower windows.
