1888 William Noble Houses
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 247 Central Park West, Manhattan, NYC, NY. ✎ Working with architect Edward J. Agnell, William Noble -- a major player in late 19th Century New York real estate, responsible for scores of new buildings -- erected a row of nine townhouses -- only three survive (2 pictured here) -- on the site in 1887, called The Noble Houses. The upper-class residences were in the latest Queen Anne style, each different from the next, yet forming a unified and cohesive grouping. Among them, Noble chose No. 247 as his own home. No. 247 was renovated and restored in 2010, after years of changing hands & purposes, for $32 million. |
