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

This townhouse and the adjacent Sloane townhouse are jaw droppingly beautiful.
This one packs a lot in relatively little. Pure Belle Epoque France
