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.[2] 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 sq ft (1,081.2 m2).

The house was designated a New York City landmark in 1979 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The house was listed for sale by Christie’s Real Estate in April 2022 for $33 million.[3] The owner at the time was Bassam Alghanim, the Kuwaiti billionaire co-owner of the Alghanim Industries conglomerate.[4]
