The Joseph Pulitzer Residence

The Joseph Pulitzer residence designed by 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 HERE for more on the Pulitzer residence and HERE to see it on google earth.  Photo from Architecture, 1903.

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:
