Mid-Summer at the Milbank Mansion

A new Landmark West! series offering our members exclusive, limited-access “tours and more” of the finest historic properties of the Upper West Side. 

In 1888, philanthropist Elizabeth Milbank commissioned one of New York City’s preeminent architectural firms to construct a Gilded Age home near the gem of Central Park.  Lamb & Rich responded with a magnificent one-of-a-kind property on West 71st Street — which has recently received an exquisite restoration.

Landmark West! invites you for an historic evening in The Milbank Mansion, one of the Upper West Side’s most opulent single-family homes.  From the exterior’s elaborate wrought iron ornamentation to the astonishing original woodwork within, the museum-quality details of this home are unsurpassed.

Glide through the Gilded Age with cocktail in hand as Prof. Andrew Dolkart, one of the city’s top authorities on historic architecture, draws your attention to priceless features such as the 13-foot coffered mahogany foyer ceiling, butternut floors with inlaid oak-and-mahogany marquetry, six-foot-high linenfold paneling, and rare curved pocket doors at the foot of the massive oak staircase.
All six levels of this 17-room home will be available for your exploration.
