The Payne Whitney residence designed by McKim, Mead & White and completed c. 1909 at 972 Fifth Avenue in New York City pictured under construction. The exterior shots were taken sometime between 1902-1905 and the interiors below were taken c. 1902. Click HERE for more on the Whitney residence.

Super cool!
No really super cool!!!!! Would like to see more construction photos in the future
Super duper cool!
Downright fascinating, in fact---marvelous to see all of the architectural bits Stanford White picked up to incorporate into the decor hanging around waiting for their close-up.
The walls are made of hollow terra cotta blocks like the De Lamar mansion
The raw interior construction shots are wonderful before all the interior panelling and plasterwork was installed. Those hollow blocks were not only structural but fire rated and were used often in construction of the era. Nyarch
