History
The residence was built in 1901–03, replacing two older houses on the site, and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Hoppin & Koen, who had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and worked in the office of McKim, Mead & White.[3] The home was built for James F. D. Lanier, son of banker Charles D. Lanier, and his wife Harriet Bishop Lanier, daughter of Heber R. Bishop. It has a floor area of 11,638 square feet (1,081 m2).
The house was designated a New York City landmark in 1979 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[4]
The house was listed for sale by Christie's Real Estate in April 2022 for $33 million.[5] The owner at the time was Bassam Alghanim, the Kuwaiti billionaire co-owner of the Alghanim Industries conglomerate.[6]
