The
Isaac D. Fletcher residence designed by
C.P.H. Gilbert between 1897-1899 at 2 East 79th Street in
New York City. The house was purchased by
Harry F. Sinclair following Fletcher's death in 1917. In 1955 the residence was purchased by the
Ukrainian Institute of America which still uses the house as their headquarters. Click

Of all the styles assayed for New York houses, the French Medieval is always one of the oddest
all the delicate lacey copper cresting and finials piercing the sky are sorely missed in the current view yet it's still a stunning building.
