The East 80th Street Houses are a group of four attached rowhouses on that street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. They are built of brick with various stone trims in different versions of the Colonial Revival architectural style. They were built in the 1920s as homes for wealthy New Yorkers of that era, including Vincent Astor, Clarence Dillon and George Whitney. All were designated city landmarks by 1967, the first group of houses on the Upper East Side so recognized. In 1980, all four houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as intact surviving examples of high-style townhouses for affluent homebuyers of that time period.

Kraushaar, who had previously been with the European art gallery, William Schaus, Sr. The Gallery's first location on Broadway at 33rd Street where it showed Dutch and French Barbizon paintings, as well as works by Courbet, Corot, Whistler and Fantin-Latour.

In 1901, at their new gallery at 260 Fifth Avenue, they exhibited the work of the Swiss-born American society painter Adolfo Müller-Ury. Later John Kraushaar began showing works by American artists, particularly Robert Henri and his circle, and the group known as The Eight, Henri, John Sloan, William Glackens, Everett Shinn, George Luks, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson and Arthur B. Davies. He also exhibited the work of Guy Pène du Bois and Charles Prendergast. After his brother's death in 1917, John Kraushaar continued the business. When John fell ill in the 1930s, his daughter, Antoinette M. Kraushaar, took over affairs. Upon his death in 1946, she became the owner of the gallery, a role she filled until 1988. In the 1940s newer American painters were added. Among them were John A. Hartell.
