This house designed by C.P.H. Gilbert for prominent investment banker Henry Seligman and his wife Adelaide, stands as a particularly grand and well-preserved example of the fashionable townhouses that once lined the 50s side streets off Fifth Avenue. Above the rusticated ground floor are original second-story wood windows and an intricately carved stone balcony supported by brackets. Adorning the second, third and fourth floors are stone quoins and window surrounds with broken lintels over the central windows on the third and fourth floors. A fourth-story balcony and a large ornate cornice resting on paired consoles further enhance the look of the elegant façade.
