The Oliver G. Jennings Residence

The Oliver Gould Jennings residence designed by Ernest Flagg and Walter B. Chambers c. 1899 at 7 East 72nd Street in New York City. Jennings was a director of numerous companies and was a former member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. He sold the house in 1914 for a plot on 5th Avenue and 69th Street. For many years after the house belonged to the Lycée Français but has since been purchased by the Emir of Qatar (along with neighboring No. 9, the c. 1896 Henry T. Sloane residence designed by Carrere & Hastings) and has been returned to a private residence. Click HERE for Christopher Gray's Streetscapes article on the block.

The R. Fulton Cutting Residence

The R. Fulton Cutting residence designed by Ernest Flagg c. 1898 at 24 East 67th Street at the corner of Madison Avenue in New York City. Cutting was chairman of the Citizens' Union, a prominent reform organization, click HERE to see their 1901 campaign book. Cutting died in 1919 and in 1922 the home was substantially altered to provide for stores on the lower floors and apartments above. The September 1922 Evening Telegram stated that the house was "the scene of some of the most notable incidents in the fashionable life of New York". The Cutting family subsequently moved further uptown. I do not believe the altered building to be extant.
