What a Wonderful Night!  A sold-out crowd enjoyed the first in 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! hosted 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.

Guests explored all six levels of this 17-room home, cocktail in hand, as Prof. Andrew Dolkart, one of the city’s top authorities on historic architecture, called 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.
