Summary

Description The Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo House at 867 Madison Avenue on the corner of East 79th Street in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1895-98 and was designed by the architecture firm of Kimball & Thompson in the French Renaissance revival style, modeled after the chateaux of the Loire valley. It has more specifically been credited to Alexander Mackintosh, a British-born architect who worked for Kimball & Thompson from 1893 until 1898. The building was converted for commercial use in 1921, and was renovated in 1984 by Polo Ralph Lauren. (Sources: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.), AIA Guide to NYC (5th ed.), NY Times article )
