McKim, Mead & White c. 1903 at 11 East 73rd Street in
New York City. Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, moved to this location after a fire at his residence on East 55th Street. The building is now a co-op. Click

Truly an extraordinary townhouse.
Stafford White's most nerve wracking design but so damn beautiful inside and out. New York's strangest floor plan also for a townhouse

I once knew this house well. A good friend had the apartment in this house created out of the left side of the piano nobile plus a small mezzanine---I wrote the story of that apartment here: http://thedowneastdilettante.blogspot.com/2010/02/have-boiserie-will-travel-before-and.html
And the story of the Pulitzer's Bar Harbor house, also with a soundproof bedroom in a tower designed by Stanford White, here:
