THE STREET In the tradition of architectural brilliance - The Lotos Club at 5 East 66th Street by Richard Howland Hunt for Margaret Vanderbilt, and one New York's grandest facades at 45 East 66th Street by Harde and Short - stands The Arthur Sachs Mansion at 58 East 66th Street, a modern incarnation of the exquisite features exemplified in these remarkable buildings of the past. THE MANSION With a superb limestone facade in the Beaux-Arts style, this mansion was originally erected for Alice and Arthur Sachs in 1908-9 by Buchman and Fox, the architects of the Gilded Age beauty at 5 East 73rd Street and enduring monuments such as Saks and Altmans. It faces 57 East 66th Street, the long-time residence of Andy Warhol from 1974 to 1987, designated a landmark in 1998 in celebration of Warhol's seventieth birthday. TURN-KEY RESIDENCE COMPLETION Designed by architect Henry Jessup, the mansion will be totally completed by June 30, 2015.
