Manhattan House
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.It was built from 1950 to 1951. Designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architectural style has been described as modernist. The building, standing 214 feet (65 m) tall, was made with concrete, with a facade of white brick. It overlooks a private garden with two sculptures by Hans Van de Bovenkamp. In order to be permitted to build a taller building, the developer donated a strip of land on the north side of the property to widen 66th Street.The building contains many condominiums. Notable tenants have included furniture designer Florence Knoll, clarinetist Benny Goodman, actress Grace Kelly, filmmaker Rubaiyat Hossain, former Governor Hugh Carey, and businessman Frank Hardart, the co-founder of Horn & Hardart.The building is pet friendly.In 2007, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the complex a landmark for its influential mid-century modernist architecture. In 2014, the penthouses were redesigned by Cuban-born interior designer Vicente Wolf. 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. Both men disagreed on their 2007 renovation project.
