The
William Starr Miller residence designed by
Carrere & Hastings c. 1914 at 1048 Fifth Avenue and East 86th Street in
New York City. Miller operated real estate and his death notice in the NYTimes is unusually small, merely stating that he was a member of the Knickerbocker and Union Clubs and a graduate of Harvard. Today the house operates as the
Nueu Galerie, click

This is the house that Grace Wilson Vanderbilt moved to after grudgingly giving up 640 Fifth Avenue. It's a really lovely place, but she referred to it as 'The Gardener's Cottage'
I've always loved Miller's Newport House, 'High Tide' by Warren & Wetmore.
A really great combination of materials is especially appreciated in this urban setting. And it looks like the museum has done a great job in restoration and adaptive use. Admission is pricey, but it's a fascinating museum.

Ahhh, so he was a gentleman then.
