Manhattan House is an apartment building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The building is at 200 East 66th Street, just east of Third Avenue.[1][2]
It was built from 1950 to 1951.[1][2] Designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architectural style has been described as modernist.[1][2] The building, standing 214 feet (65 m) tall, was made with concrete, with a facade of white brick.[2] It overlooks a private garden with two sculptures by Hans Van de Bovenkamp.[3] The developer donated a strip of land on the north side of the property to widen 66th Street. A wider street allowed a taller building.[4]
The building contains many condominiums.[1] Notable tenants have included furniture designer Florence Knoll, actress Grace Kelly, clarinetist Benny Goodman, former Governor Hugh Carey, and businessman Frank Hardart, the co-founder of Horn & Hardart.[4]
In 2007, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the complex a landmark for its influential mid-century modernist architecture.[4] In 2014, the penthouses were redesigned by Cuban-born interior designer Vicente Wolf.[5][6] Manhattan House is co-owned by N. Richard Kalikow, a real estate developer, and Jeremiah W. O'Connor, Jr., the Managing Partner at O’Connor Capital Partners, a private equity firm.[4][7] Both men disagreed on their 2007 renovation project.[7]
