3 East 95th Street (The Carhart Mansion)
3 East 95th Street, New York, NY 10128
- Year built
- 1913
3 East 95th Street is Horace Trumbauer's only Manhattan residential conversion-to-condominium project — a 1913-1921 Louis XVI mansion that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission described as "one of the finest examples in the city of 18th Century French Classicism" when designating the building as an individual NYC landmark in 1974. The 2004 boutique condominium conversion with adjacent compatible new-construction townhouse by Zivkovic Connolly Architects and classical interiors by John Simpson produced one of the most architecturally consequential Carnegie Hill condominium configurations.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the Trumbauer architectural pedigree — the architect's broader body of work includes the Duke Mansion, Widener Library at Harvard, The Elms in Newport, and Whitemarsh Hall in Pennsylvania. No other Carnegie Hill condominium carries the same architect-of-record credential. Second, the NYC individual landmark designation — LP-0879 in 1974 places The Carhart Mansion in a structurally elevated regulatory and architectural tier. Third, the boutique 4-unit mansion configuration plus the compatible adjacent townhouse — the Zivkovic Connolly / John Simpson 2004 work produced a structurally distinct condominium identity that preserves the mansion's institutional gravity while expanding the residential program.
Tom Miller's Daytonian in Manhattan (July 2011) provides the canonical published architectural and resident history.
