925 & 926 Fifth Avenue
Posted on September 23, 2016 by — No Comments
A pair of handsome survivors designed by C.P.H. Gilbert in the 1890s, 925 & 926 Fifth Avenue remind us that not every house on the avenue was either a folly or a masterpiece – some, like this pair, were sensible and relatively restrained dwellings in keeping with educated middle-class taste.
Considering that the houses were designed for completely different clients, Gilbert did a nice job of both contrasting and matching up the details.
