Archivo: Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo House 867 Madison Avenue

Description: The Gertrude Rhinelander Waldo House at 867 Madison Avenue on the corner of East 79th Street in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1895-98 and was designed by the architecture firm of Kimball & Thompson in the French Renaissance revival style, modeled after the chateaux of the Loire valley. It has more specifically been credited to Alexander Mackintosh, a British-born architect who worked for Kimball & Thompson from 1893 until 1898. The building was converted for commercial use in 1921, and was renovated in 1984 by Polo Ralph Lauren. (Sources: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.), AIA Guide to NYC (5th ed.), NY Times article)
