History

It was originally constructed for Henry T. Sloane, son of a founder of the carpet firm W. & J. Sloane.[1] The Pulitzer family rented it from Sloane, and in 1901 it was purchased by banker James Stillman. He lived there until his death in 1918.[2] Starting in 1964, it housed the Lycée Français de New York, along with its extensions in the neighboring Oliver Gould Jennings House.[2]

The mansion was in turn vacated by the school when it was sold and renovated to become a luxurious single-family home again.[3][4] The purchaser of the building was Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the (now former) Emir of Qatar, who bought the mansion and the neighboring Oliver Gould Jennings House around 2004.[5][6]
